A clash broke out between students of Dhaka College and Ideal College near the Science Lab intersection in the capital on Saturday morning, halting traffic movement in the area for a while.
Teachers of both colleges soon rushed to the spot and brought the situation under control.
It is suspected that the skirmish may have taken place over a previous dispute between some of the students.
Additional forces had been deployed to prevent any untoward incident, said New Market police station OC SM Kaiyum.
Traffic movement on the road was now normal, he said, adding that it was not immediately clear what had caused the clash.
