A Melbourne university student has been taken to hospital following a campus lab explosion.
The student, believed to be in his 20s, had been working in the chemical engineering research lab at the University of Melbourne when an explosion caused glass to shatter, severely cutting his hands.
Paramedics took the student to hospital while firefighters evacuated the Parkville campus building.
An Ambulance Victoria spokeswoman said the student was in a stable condition.
Firefighters were still at the scene, monitoring air quality before they would let people back inside the building, a Metropolitan Fire Brigade spokesman said.
The cause of the explosion is not known.
