Student injures his friend with hot scissors

Croatian Times

Police are investigating the case of a 14-year-old student who burned a friend with hot scissors yesterday (Thurs).

The boy was playing with scissors during an art class. He warmed the scissors with a lighter and put them on the back of the neck of his friend who was sitting in front of him.

The injured boy did not tell the teacher what had happened but told his mother later at home.

She took him to hospital, where doctors confirmed he had been slightly injured.

Students at the school say the two boys are friends and have not had any conflicts. They claim it was only a joke that ended badly.
