A teacher at a school in north London has been suspended after claims a 10-year-old pupil was “punched multiple times”.
The Metropolitan Police are investigating allegations that a member of staff at Christ the King Primary School in Islington punched the 10-year-old which resulted in the child needing to receive treatment at A&E.
Sky News has spoken to the father of the 10-year-old involved in the alleged incident.
Charles Etumnu recounted what his son told him happened: “He said he was on a stairwell landing watching a pupil that was getting into trouble.
“He then felt a forceful push from behind. He stumbled and regained balance and said ‘Don’t touch me’.
“The teacher then dragged him to a confined space on the landing and started raining punches on him.
“He was trying to fend them off when other teachers came and pulled them off him. My son then started crying.”
