A 16-year-old male resident of the Berkshire Farm Center was charged with felony assault and misdemeanor weapon possession after a fight Monday.

State Police arrested Tiquese A. Wilson, formerly of Schenectady, after officers responded to reports of a fight between students gathered in the courtyard. Berkshire Farm is a rural residential facility in Columbia County for troubled young men.

Wilson cut three other residents with a utility knife, State Police said. When a staff member tried to break up the fight, he was also injured by the knife.

The four victims were taken to the infirmary with non-life-threatening injuries, and later treated at Berkshire Medical Center and released.
