A female student brutally assaulted an elderly science teacher so badly the educator was sent to a hospital. To make matters worse, the pupil suffered a seizure following the fight.
The Daily Mail reported the fight broke out at Normandy High School in St Louis on Wednesday after 65-year-old teacher Sheryl Rogers confronted the student in the school hallway.
The cause of the fight is unclear at this point. Some students claimed Rogers became unfairly suspicious and tried to prevent the teenager from retrieving her anti-seizure medication from a bag in her locker.
But Greg Stanton, Rogers’ partner, told KSDK the student instigated the fight. He alleged the youth pushed the teacher unprovoked, tried to snatch back her bag, and then violently attacked her after being told to wait.
Stanton also expressed anger over the lack of security.
“Where were the police? Where were the paraprofessionals?” he asked.
The video starts with Rogers on the ground, desperately clinging to a bag while the unruly pupil stands over her and punches her head multiple times. The student continues to slug the elderly woman even as a male teacher tries to intervene.
Rogers continues holding the bag and manages to get up as the deranged student is restrained by her classmates. She attempts to lunge at the youth before being shoved to the floor by another student.
The two are then finally separated. The female attacker can be seen being led away by a male student.

But seconds later, another video captured an arguably more shocking episode. The female student is seen on her back in cuffs in the same hallway and suffering a significant seizure.
She convulses violently while a member of the school’s security staff tries to stop her from swallowing her tongue as fellow students look on in horror.
