A child was hospitalized Wednesday after a group of students at an Orange County middle school got into a fight that involved pepper spray.

Eight children were involved in the fight at Meadow Woods Middle School, just north of State Road 417, according to Orange County Fire Rescue spokeswoman Kathleen Kennedy.

Seven initially refused to be taken to a hospital and one was taken to Nemours Children's Hospital in the Lake Nona area.

Orange County Sheriff's deputies also responded to the school.

No other information has been released.
