Angered after getting punished for not doing his math homework, one student in Vietnam unleashed a barrage of blows onto his unsuspecting teacher.
According to Tuoi Tre, the student was a 12th grader and the attack occurred on Monday (19 Oct) morning.
During math class at Mac Dinh Chi High School in Hanoi, a female teacher punished a group of students for not doing their homework by making them stand in a corner.
However, one of them approached her while her back was turned and began attacking her.
Fortunately, other students stepped in to prevent further escalation as he appeared to try to continue harming the teacher.

The woman was taken to the hospital and treated for her injuries. She had a broken nose, torn septum, and a 5cm cut on her face.
She is currently resting at home, but is expected to return to teaching in a few days.
Following news of the incident, Hanoi’s Department of Education and Training visited the teacher to provide support.
They also visited the school and told them to review measures to prevent similar incidents from reoccurring.
Recommendations were also given to provide students with additional counselling on appropriate behaviour and conflict resolution.
The student’s family is reportedly cooperating with school officials and authorities. An investigation is still underway.
