A female high school student pepper sprayed her teacher twice after he took away her cell phone.
The wild incident at Antioch High School near Nashville, Tennessee, on Friday was captured on video by another student.
It started with a male teacher running out of a classroom after being pepper sprayed.
‘She just pepper-sprayed me,’ the teacher yells out to another educator.

The girl tries to grab her phone back but the teacher pulls his arm away.
That causes the girl to pepper spray him again, and he falls to the ground crying out in pain.
The student who is recording is heard saying, ‘mace is crazy!’
Another adult tries to intervene and tells the student to back away as she screams, ‘can I get my phone’ and ‘I need my phone’.

A teacher from another class tells the girl she can’t have her phone as the teacher continues to cough and other adults arrive to take control of the situation.
‘Over a phone?’ someone is heard saying. ‘This s**t is crazy.’
The student who maced her teacher had her phone taken away by him for ‘texting and Googling answers for her school work’, according to Reddit user @Lazy_Mouse3803 who shared the video.
It was the second time that the same teacher was attacked by a student, according to the Reddit user. He was apparently punched in the face two months earlier after taking away another student’s phone for using it to cheat.
