A video has shown how a ferocious fight broke out between students at a school and ended with a teacher getting knocked unconscious.
In the shocking phone footage – taken at Cheltenham High School in Pennsylvania, US – two girls are seen hurling punches at each other.
Another student tries to intervene but finds herself on the receiving end of a barrage of punches from her classmate.
Screams and shouts are heard from the shocked crowd as the fight continues for more than 30 seconds.
A female substitute teacher then tries to wade in between the pupils, but inadvertently gets punched in the face with such force she crumples to the ground.
Four students were arrested after the incident on Wednesday morning (May 3) – which left eight teachers injured.
Amber Nicole Lewis, 18, faces four counts of aggravated assault and conspiracy, while the three other students are juveniles who remain in custody.
Police say the fight stemmed from some type of incident that began on Facebook.
The school’s Principal Ray McFall said last week: “This morning’s incident, is, without doubt, a gross violation of our code of conduct and therefore completely unacceptable.
“I ask that every single parent have a serious conversation at home this evening about student stressors and appropriate management of them; violence is never a viable option.”
The substitute teacher was sent to hospital following the brawl after suffering concussion – along with three other members of staff – but has since been released.
