A Marine Park junior high school was evacuated and up to 25 were injured when four girls unleashed a cloud of pepper spray inside a crowded cafeteria Thursday, police report.

Police, firemen, and medical personnel were called to Intermediate School 278 on Stuart Street between Fillmore Avenue and Avenue U at 12:52 pm, where they found the entire student body filed onto the street, with some being treating for injuries related to inhaling and coming into contact with the airborne irritant.

One person was moved from school grounds to a local hospital for treatment, according to an FDNY spokeswoman.

Three 14-year-old girls and one 13-year-old cops think were responsible for the pepper spray were arrested at the scene.

Calls to the school for comment were not answered.
