Kirrie schoolboy suffers eye injury in stone attack

Police are investigating after an Angus teenager was hit in the eye by a stone as he waited outside the school gates.

Kris Norrie, 13, was sitting on a railing outside Webster’s High School when the missile was thrown at him.

He said: “I went to jump off the rail but before I could move, something hit me in the eye I think it was a stone. I opened my eye and I couldn’t see anything.

“I was panicking because my friends said: ‘Your eye’s bleeding’. They took me inside I was stumbling because I couldn’t see properly.”

Teachers drove Kris to Kirriemuir Health Centre, where his dad Bob, 58, collected him and took him to Ninewells Hospital in Dundee.

Kris was seen by an eye specialist, given steroid drops and told to stay as still as possible for 72 hours.

Kris returned to the hospital on Monday to have his eye checked.

Police said: “We did receive a complaint of an incident outside Webster’s High School, in which a 13-year-old boy sustained an eye injury.

“The matter is now under investigation.”
