A teacher in a Tennessee high school who confiscated a student's phone was subsequently pepper sprayed by his student, Fox News Digital confirmed.
A video which surfaced on Reddit on May 5 showed the assault in Antioch High School, which racked up millions of views. The teacher was previously decked in the face approximately two months before in a separate incident, and the district told Fox News Digital that disciplinary action was taken in both incidents and were reported to the police.
She tries to reach for her phone, saying "Give me my phone."
She repeatedly demanded her phone and then proceeded to pepper spray the teacher from behind.
The teacher fell onto his knees and started screaming.
As the teacher was on the ground, the student tried to grab her phone again, unsuccessfully.
"Can I get my phone? Can I get my phone? I need my phone!"
The teacher told another faculty member, "She pepper sprayed me."
"Okay, well you took my phone," the student replied. "Can I have my phone?"
"No you can't have your phone," the teacher said. He proceeded to cough from the pepper spray.
