7-year-old injured by discarded needles on school grounds

A 7-year-old has had to be treated at Noble's Hospital after finding a bag of used needles on school grounds.

That's according to Police - who shared the news in a post on social media earlier today.

Officers say the child had to be treated for a puncture injury after stumbling upon the bag of used hypodermic needles - which had been 'carelessly discarded'.

They were found in the grounds of Henry Bloom School - specifically in an area of grass next to the artificial pitch - close to the end of Hillside Avenue.

A Police Spokesperson says the incident has caused 'untold worry and concern' - and those responsible haven't given any thought for anyone but themselves.
