"Stepped-up security may have thwarted another attack on Asian students at South Philadelphia High School yesterday.
According to one teacher, several Asian students were warned that they would be jumped after school.
'They were told to watch out, that there's a threat against you after school,' said the teacher, who asked not to be identified for fear of reprisal.
School administrators and police officers heard the rumors, too, and monitored the situation carefully, they said.
The rumors did not appear to be related to problems in Center City, where youths from several high schools roamed the streets, perhaps in retaliation for earlier fights at the Gallery."
