KUALA LUMPUR: A 14-year-old male student has been detained for allegedly punching and threatening his schoolteacher after he was reprimanded for skipping a physical education class on Tuesday (July 29).
Kajang OCPD Asst Comm Naazron Abdul Yusof said the 29-year-old secondary school teacher lodged a report at about 7.15pm on Tuesday, and the student was detained shortly afterwards in the Kajang area.
“The suspect was unhappy with the reprimand, which led to a scuffle with the teacher. He then punched the teacher in the face and threatened him. The incident, which occurred within the school compound, was witnessed by several teachers and students,” he said in a statement on Wednesday (July 30).
Naazron said the student was remanded for two days to assist in the investigation and will be charged at the Kajang Magistrates’ Court on Thursday (July 31) under Section 323 of the Penal Code for voluntarily causing hurt.- Bernama
