The swarm of bees that attacked a group of Ngee Ann Polytechnic students came out of nowhere, and was soon all over physical education teacher June Phoon.
Most of the 38 students and staff members who were stung in Wednesday's incident were discharged from National University Hospital and Alexandra Hospital by 12.30pm that day, but Ms Phoon was kept back for observation for two more hours, together with a colleague.
She told The Straits Times on Thursday that she started running when she saw the bees, but then stopped to help a student who was rooted to the ground, too stunned to move.
'I was asking the students to run,' said Ms Phoon, 34. 'But this one girl was too shocked to move... I stayed with her to try to swipe some bees off her body. That was when the bees started attacking me.'
