Footage of the assault spread across social media and went viral. In the video, you can see the teen run up to the school staff member and knock her to the ground.

While laying on the floor, the student proceeded to kick and punch her multiple times before others were able to get him off her.

“The actions of this student are absolutely horrendous and completely uncalled for,” Sheriff Rick Staly said in a statement.

“We hope the victim will be able to recover, both mentally and physically, from this incident. Thankfully, students and staff members came to the victim’s aid before the SRDs could arrive. Our schools should be a safe place – for both employees and students.”

It’s not clear if the student and teacher had a history prior to this incident.
