American student pepper sprays teacher for taking away phone

During class, a student pepper-sprayed a teacher after being forbidden from using her cell phone. A Nashville, Tennessee, high school student was looking for answers in class on Google, according to foreign media.

The teacher confiscated the student's mobile phone after she was caught using it in class. In spite of the student's attempts, the teacher did not relinquish the phone which prompted the student to go into a fit of rage, pepper-spraying the teacher twice.

During this time, instead of helping the teacher, the other students laughed.

After being pepper sprayed, the teacher can be seen sitting on the ground in pain in a video that has gone viral on social media. A number of social media users condemned the student's misbehavior and demanded that she be punished.

Previously, another student had punched the same teacher for preventing him from copying through a mobile device.
