A three-year-old girl lost the tip of her finger Thursday morning, prompting a medical helicopter to be sent to the Holland School in Plymouth Township, according to multiple reports.
The incident was first reported to police at 11:25 a.m., and a helicopter touched down 25 minutes later. The Montgomery County Department of Public Safety confirmed the incident, and said that the girl will likely be flown to a Philadelphia hospital.
The nature of the injury is unclear, except that the finger was reportedly cut off.
