Four students were taken to the hospital from a Queens high school Tuesday afternoon after they ingested a prescription drug, authorities say.
Ambulances responded to the Frank Sinatra School of Arts High School in Astoria at about 3 p.m., and took four people to Elmhurst Hospital.
The four students were not seriously sickened.
Department of Education officials said a student admitted to bringing in and selling Xanax to a group of students. At least one student is being arrested, and disciplinary action is pending.
Xanax is prescribed for the medical treatment of panic and anxiety disorders.
