ZEPHYRHILLS -- A 14-year-old girl was arrested Thursday evening after a fight that left another girl with a broken tailbone.

The girls, both students at Raymond B. Stewart Middle School, started arguing on the school bus Wednesday afternoon, according to a Pasco County Sheriff's Office report.

As they got off the bus at Eighth Avenue and Hill Drive, one girl pushed the other to the ground and started punching and kicking her, the report said. The injured girl went to the hospital with severe back pain, the report said.

Nicole Leeann Taylor of 5305 Lantana Drive was charged with felony battery. She was taken to the county's juvenile detention center.
