A teachers’ aide in Milwaukee has been arrested after a video surfaced of the aide shoving a student.
The Milwaukee Police Department (MPD) arrested the 39-year-old employee of Wisconsin’s Bay View High School for physical abuse of a child. No charges have been filed.
Uploaded to Facebook by Tory Lowe on April 20, the troubling video captures the teacher’s aide forcefully shoving the teenager into tables and chairs.
The 39-year-old held the student down on the ground by his neck, repeatedly yelling expletives.
“I was just watching it like ’this is unreal. I cannot believe this,'” Jacquan-Anthony Wilder, a student and witness recalled to Milwaukee’s local FOX6 news.
“They kept on arguing and getting into each other’s faces,” Wilder said.
The events preceding the April 20 confrontation were not recorded. According to Milwaukee Public Schools (MPS) district officials, the incident occurred in a ninth grade biology class just before 11 am.
