New South Wales authorities on Thursday said several Sydney high school students were rushed to the hospital for blood tests after they were stabbed by a fellow student.
The authorities said the student stabbed them with a syringe picked up from a bus stop.
NSW police said in a statement that they had been told a pupil was “doing what appeared to be a prank involving a needle.’’
Eight pupils received a “minor needle prick” and were being tested for infections.
Ambulance officials told the national broadcaster, ABC, that the alleged offender had picked up the syringe from a bus stop in Plumpton, about 45 kilometres west of Sydney.
Police are, however, investigating and will speak to the student.
