A brutal fight between a Missouri high school student and an elderly science teacher left the educator in hospital and the teenager having a seizure in handcuffs on the floor, in front of her horrified classmates.
The violence broke out at Normandy High School in St Louis on Wednesday after teacher Sheryl Rogers, 65, challenged the student in a school corridor.
Students at the school claimed that the teacher became unfairly suspicious when she saw the teenager retrieving her anti-seizure medication from a bag in her locker.
But Ms Rogers partner, Greg Stanton, said the student pushed the teacher, tried to snatch back her bag, and then attacked her after being told to wait.
'Where were the police? Where were the paraprofessionals?' he demanded on KSDK.
