A student brandishing a syringe stung eight teenagers in a "joke" in a high school in west Sydney, Australian authorities said.
Several ambulances were called Thursday at Plumpton High School after reports of stab wounds.
The students were found with "a minor needle sting" and no serious injury, said New South Wales state police.
"A student was doing what appears to be a joke that involved a needle," said a statement.
Injured students received blood tests as a precaution. According to the paramedics, they were injured on the hands and legs.
The police have not yet spoken to the alleged perpetrator.
