CHARLOTTE, N.C. - A teacher was assaulted at Mallard Creek High School Monday.
Video obtained by FOX 46 shows the violent incident that took place inside of the high school classroom around 9:30 a.m.
On social media, several students claim it all started with threatening material written on a binder.
In the video, the teacher, later identified as 50-year-old Peter Petroff, is seen holding what appears to be a blue notebook before the student charges him. It then appears the student grabs Petroff around the neck and forces him up against a whiteboard.
CMS did confirm this incident happened, but say there was no threat made against the school and no lockdown put into place. They only said "students who violate the Code of Student Conduct will face disciplinary action."
According to CMPD, the student has been charged with assault, damage to property and communicating threats.
