PETALING JAYA: A 14-year-old boy from a secondary school in Kangar, Perlis, was injured after falling off the roof of a pedestrian walkway on the school grounds, allegedly after using a vape this morning.
Kangar police chief Yusharifuddin Yusop said police were informed of the incident by a teacher at 10.50am, adding that the student sustained minor injuries to his feet and knees, Bernama reported.
“The student found a vape under a desk in the classroom on the first floor. He then went with two other friends to the back of the building to use the vape.
“After vaping, he felt his body temperature rise and decided to go to the roof of the pedestrian walkway for some fresh air, where he fell after stepping on the fragile roof,” Yusharifuddin said in a statement today.
He said the student’s family was called to the Kangar police headquarters and they were allowed to take him home after an initial urine test was negative.
