San Mateo police identified the suspect as 29-year-old Oscar Marroquen-Perez, of San Mateo.
His backpack was searched, and police said they found a large kitchen knife. He was arrested on suspicion of trespassing and possession of a weapon on school grounds, resisting police and giving a false identity to police.
He was booked into the San Mateo County Jail.
