By Globe Staff

An 18-year-old West Roxbury high school student was stabbed twice in the back this morning at Forest Hills T stop, according to a spokeswoman for the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority.

The teen was rushed by ambulance to Brigham and Women's Hospital just after 7 a.m. with what appeared to be non-life-threatening injuries, said spokeswoman Lydia Rivera. The victim, whose name was not released, is a student at the Brook Farm Business and Service Career Academy in the West Roxbury Education Complex.

Transit police say the stabbing was not a random act. No arrests have been reported.

It was not immediately clear where the stabbing took place. The victim was sitting alone on a bench when at the station when a T employee approached him because he was bleeding. The victim has shared very little information with investigators about what happened, said spokesman Joe Pesaturo.
