A Texas teacher is under investigation after video surfaced showing him assaulting a teenage student in a beating that sent the student to the emergency room.
The incident, which took place on Wednesday, occurred inside a Humble High School classroom and shows the English teacher shoving the 10th grader against a wall in an exchange that the student’s parents called “very upsetting” and they said it started when the teacher thought their son was being too loud, FOX Houston reported.
“I stayed in his face, antagonizing him. My son told him, ‘You told me to shut up. I’m not going to say anything else,’ and that’s when they told me the teacher took my baby’s chair,” Elvert Bolden said. .
In the video, the students can be seen trying to pry the teacher off the student before the teacher slams him to the ground and climbs on top of him.

“‘I want him arrested, charges filed,'” Bolden said. “I want his teacher’s license revoked. I don’t want him to be able to go to any school in any state and be able to teach another child in case he does this again. If I had put my hands on my baby, I would have been in jail “.
Bolden said her son was bruised, limping and needed crutches, as well as a trip to the emergency room after the attack.
