Video Catches Student Attacking Teacher

Mobile, Alabama (TLS). A 61-year-old high school teacher in Mobile, Alabama sustained injuries to her face when she was attacked by a teenage student, who allegedly used brass knuckles in the attack.

The interesting component of the story, however, is that the whole thing was caught on video by another student, who taped the attack with his cell phone.

That video was used in court as evidence in the case.

But before the video was shown the alleged perpetrator's family arose to leave the courtroom in an emotional display of protest. An officer stopped them at the door and stated that they were not allowed to leave during the trial of their underage son.

Several family members were also charged and fined in contempt of court for cursing at the officer who blocked their departure from the courtroom.

Television station WKRG in Mobile has a copy of the video of the attack. Click here to see it:
