An East Lothian schoolboy has been left blind in one eye after a dangerous playground craze went horribly wrong.
The young lad was taking part in the “deodorant bomb” stunt where a sharp object is plunged into an aerosol can to release the gas inside at Ross High School in Tranent, East Lothian, last Friday, January 6.
The can exploded in the victim’s face resulting in “gruesome” injuries and he was rushed to Edinburgh Royal Infirmary where surgeons attempted to save the boy’s sight.
