A student was transported to an area hospital Wednesday after losing two fingertips in an accident at Marietta High School.

Marietta City Schools spokeswoman Jen Brock said the student was in the bathroom when she went into a stall and the door was “accidentally closed” behind her by another student. The student’s two fingertips were caught in the open space near the door’s hinge.

“There was nothing malicious or intentional about what happened,” Brock said.

The school called 911, and student was taken to the hospital where she was treated for the injury. No charges will be filed in the incident, Brock said.
