Viral video: Middle school student grabs teacher and throws her sideways against classroom wall during an argument with another student

Cell phone video shows the moment a Texas middle school student grabbed a teacher and threw her sideways into a classroom wall while fighting with another student on Monday.

The fight took place Monday at Hurshel Antwine Middle School in El Paso, part of the Socorro Independent School District, KTSM-TV reported, citing the video that the station said has gone viral.

As she hits the wall and then lands on the classroom floor, individual thuds can be heard.

KTSM's video report said the social studies teacher was trying to break up a fight between two of her students. In the clip, the teacher is seen walking between students in a classroom before one of the students appears to throw a punch past her, grabbing her by the shoulders and throwing her sideways into a wall.

At least one of her legs can be seen leaving the ground during the throw, and individual thuds can be heard as she hits the wall and then lands on the classroom floor.

An unredacted video shows that the student who threw the teacher against the wall appears to be the aggressor in a fight with the other student, repeatedly throwing punches while the other student does not fight back. The one-sided dusting continued for nearly 20 seconds after the teacher was thrown.

After a few seconds, the teacher soon stands up and two people – presumably other teachers – enter the classroom, with one of them shouting, “What are you doing?” According to the unredacted video, the students are separated.

The teacher, who was thrown against the wall, appears to fall into a sitting position on the floor.

KTSM said the following message was sent to parents: “Hello, this is Patricia Fernandez, principal of Hurshel Antwine Middle School. I'm calling to let you know that there was an altercation between students in a classroom on our campus today. This was an isolated incident between individual students. If necessary, the affected students will be contacted by administration and law enforcement authorities. There was no danger to other students or the campus. Thank you for your continued trust and support of Hurshel Antwine Middle School and the SISD team.”

The station said it has reached out to the school district for comment.

Lone Star Live said district officials did not respond when asked if the woman in the video was a teacher or if she was injured. The media added that officials did not respond when asked what kind of punishment the students involved would face, whether they would be expelled or sent to an alternative education program.

Officials also did not respond when asked whether teachers had panic buttons in their classrooms or whether police were assigned to each school, Lone Star Live reported, adding that officials also did not respond when asked who would decide whether in the school will be charged or not.
