BROCKTON, Mass. — A student at Brockton High School was taken to the hospital Wednesday after a lamp they plugged in short-circuited, school officials say.
School officials believe the outlet may have arced when the student went to plug in the lamp, a Brockton Public Schools spokesperson said.
The student was transported to a nearby hospital for evaluation “out of an abundance of caution.”
The school day continued as normal.
