A 16-year-old girl is anxiously awaiting blood test results after sitting on a needle on a bus.
She was on the top deck of the number 24 Brighton and Hove Bus Company vehicle when she was pricked by the needle.
The worried student, from Brighton, East Sussex spent the next four hours in hospital where she was given a hepatitis jab and had blood tests.
Speaking about the incident, she said: ‘My friend and I had got on the bus to go home and we were sat on the top.
‘I suddenly had this shooting pain in the back of my leg. I reached down and pulled out a needle that had snapped in half.
‘Then I looked down the side of the bus seat and there were packets and a syringe on the floor and the rest of the needle.’
