Upsetting video shows a middle school teacher in Texas being thrown to the ground while she tries to stop a fight in her classroom.
KTSM reports that the brave social studies teacher was seen on video stepping between two children who were fighting near a classroom door at Hurshel Antwine Middle School in El Paso on Monday. The video has since gone viral.
One of the boys keeps throwing punches at the teacher, but they just miss. The teacher then throws the boy to the ground next to a wall so the boy can keep hitting.
While other scared kids scream, the teacher stays on the ground as one of the bigger boys charges at his friend and continues to punch him. The two then crash into some desks.
When she gets back on her feet, she begs them to “Stop!” Two other female staff members rush in to help her.
One of the other women asks the boys, “What are you doing?!” when they finally show up to stop fighting in the classroom.
KVIA got a copy of a letter that Principal Patricia Fernandez sent to parents to reassure them that “an altercation occurred among students in a classroom.”
“This was a one-off incident between two students,” she wrote.
“The students in question are being talked to by administration and police, as needed.” Other students and the school were not in danger.
The shocking video shows the latest beating of a teacher that was caught on camera.
In a swear-filled classroom tantrum last month, a high school student in North Carolina was seen hitting his teacher twice the face.
The angry child, who was only named as a minor, confronted the teacher at Winston-Salem’s Parkland High School and attacked her violently, as seen on a video shared on social media.
The Forsyth Sheriff’s Office said he was charged with two counts of minor assault and one count of making threats.
