According to New Port Richey police, the incident happened in a boy's bathroom. The police report states one student "took a can of Old Spice body spray and lit the spray stream on fire." He then "directed the fire stream at fellow student." The victim's pants briefly caught on fire and the hair on his arm was singed.
The school's resource officer tells 10 News the victim was very scared and upset after the incident. Also, it doesn't appear the two students involved had an ongoing issue. In fact, the student who lit the flames has a clear disciplinary record at the school. The SRO doesn't believe it was a targeted attack, but more for "entertainment."

This boy could have been burned beyond recognition. It doesn't matter whether he had a clean disciplinary record or not. This was a very dangerous act committed against another student.
