The alleged incident occurred in a classroom at a comprehensive school in Pembrokeshire, Wales.
A 17-year-old boy is on trial for allegedly stabbing a teacher in the head with a knife. The incident took place on a Wednesday afternoon after the boy followed the teacher into an empty classroom.
The pair reportedly ended up in a struggle, with the boy allegedly pushing the teacher into a chair as she tried to grab the knife. The teacher suffered a stab wound to the head and defensive injuries to her hands, along with scratches and small cuts.
The teacher screamed for help, and the boy allegedly fled the scene. Emergency services were called to the school, which was placed in lockdown. The teacher was taken to hospital and later discharged the same evening.
The incident has been described as "distressing" by the school, which has sought to reassure the community that the school remains a safe and caring environment. The school has been working closely with the police, local authority, and wider community to support pupils, staff, and families.
The trial continues, with the boy denying charges of attempted murder, grievous bodily harm with intent, and unlawful wounding. He has admitted to possessing a blade.
