CAUTION

Redemption of the Lord is needed as Houston High School student, 15 assaults teacher, punches teacher in the head after demanding to get his cell phone back:

This is the horrifying moment a 15-year-old high school student punched a teacher in the head while demanding to get his cell phone, daily mail has reported;

Footage circulating Twitter shows the student standing intimidatingly close to the shorter educator repeatedly asking for his 'f*****g phone' before swinging his fist into the teacher's face.

Lamar High School in Houston sent a letter to families with principal Rita Graves saying that this type of behavior won't be tolerated and that administrators were looking at ways to prevent this happening again.

Neither student or teacher have been publicly identified at this time.

In the clip a student repeatedly says 'give me my f*****g phone back' the teacher calmly asking the student to 'sit down.'

'Give me my phone,' the student his heard saying yet again and appearing exasperated.

The student is then seen leaning back and punching the teacher square in the face as a bystander who is out of frame screams in disbelief.

The person filming is seen quickly ending the recording as the savage attack takes place.

Speaking to KHOU 11 Texas branch of the American Federation of Teachers (AFT), the second largest teacher's labor union in America, said the kid has made a 'huge mistake.'

'Unfortunately, this kid's made a huge mistake,' AFT Texas president Zeph Capo said.

Capo called on HISD to properly punish the student and added that he will support the move to keep the student off campus.

'By all means, he should not be allowed back on a regular campus,' Capo said. 'This is not something that needs to be tolerated.'

Capo and other educators don't believe there could have been anything that warranted that kind of reaction, much less the teacher confiscating a phone which is allowed under certain circumstances in HISD schools.

'Unfortunately, we see too much of this,' Capo said. 'We see too much of this happening toward our teachers and toward our school employees.'

According to the outlet, 520 incidents were recorded in the 2021- 2022 school year double from that in the five previous years.

There have been nearly 1,200 assaults from 2017 - 202, according to TEA discipline reports obtained by the publication.

'I've certainly experienced angry reactions,' Capo said. 'I've certainly experienced students throwing desks across the room.'
