A teacher was arrested on a charge of assault after
allegedly stabbing a student in the head with a pencil,
police in Zimbabwe said. Bulawayo police said that the
5-year-old boy is lucky to be alive after the pencil was
stuck in his head for two months.
The incident took place during class in front of the boy’s
classmates. Sibongile Nyathi stabbed the boy because
he failed to follow her instructions.
After being stabbed, the boy was taken to the United
Bulawayo Hospitals and Mpilo Central Hospital, but
doctors failed to detect the broken pencil in the boy’s
head. Two months after the attack, the pencil fell out of
the wound.
Nyathi was arrested and charged with abuse, neglect
and violence against children. During questioning, the
teacher told police that she became frustrated because
the boy refused to follow her instructions.
