Two female Bronx high-school students were burned on the face during a chemistry-lab experiment gone awry Friday afternoon, cops said.
The students, 15 and 17, were working on a project at at Morris High School around 3:10 p.m. when they were burned, police said. They were taken to Jacobi Medical Center for an evaluation, the FDNY said.
“FDNY and EMS immediately responded to this serious incident, and students are in stable condition being treated for non-life threatening injuries,” city Department of Education spokeswoman Miranda Barbot said in a statement. “The safety of our students is our top priority, and FDNY is conducting a thorough investigation. The lab will be out of use until it is completed.”
