A 15-year-old girl splattered with pickle juice during a fight at her Queens high school was apprehended by police Friday after she threw bleach at her opponent, police said. Her victim, 14, was briefly hospitalized with minor injuries after the fight at Benjamin Cordozo High School, cops said.
The brawl, which could have left the victim blind, was over a boy, according to classmates who watched the brawl break out.
“There was pulling hair and everything,” said one student, who didn’t want to be named. “Someone threw bleach.
“I saw it. Everyone saw it,” the stunned teen said. “I don’t think anything like that has ever happened before.”
The fight started between the two students at the 223rd St. school near 58th Ave. in Bayside about 11:20 a.m.
As the two girls faced off, the younger girl threw pickle juice on the other, police said.
The pickle juice-smeared girl quickly retaliated and threw bleach on her attacker, cops said.
It was not immediately clear how the teen got her hands on the caustic chemical.
Three others — a 14-year-old girl, a 17-year-old girl and a 15-year-old boy — joined the ensuing brawl, suffering a few cuts and scrapes, police sources said.
When school officials stopped the fight, all five students were taken to Long Island Jewish Hospital where they were treated and released.
The teen hit with bleach did not suffer any permanent injuries, police sources said.
After being questioned, police wrote up a juvenile report on the teenage bleach thrower and was returned her to her parents.
While she wasn’t charged with a crime, the juvenile report will remain at the precinct and could be referenced if she is ever in trouble with the law again, police sources said.
Education Department spokeswoman Miranda Barbot said school officials were investigating the matter.
"There is no place for this in our schools," she said. "The safety of students and staff is our top priority, and we are providing the school with additional support."
