IPS TEACHER hospitalized after being beaten by a BLACK STUDENT!
An Indianapolis teacher was sent to the hospital after being attacked by a student.
School officials said the John Marshall Community High School teacher, Garrett Heator, was assaulted about 1 p.m. Friday afternoon.
Heator said the attack came from one of his 9th grade students.
"He actually made another threat last month that he was going to hit me, and I think he got suspended for that," Heator said.
The student reported late to class Friday.
"So I told him to go to the auditorium and he got really upset and he punched the wall," Heator said.
Heator said the student left, but then came back a few minutes later.
"When he came back, he kicked the door open and was cussing and yelling and threatening me."
Heator said the student was taken to the dean's office, then bolted out of there and came after him.
"I was out in the hallway on the phone with another parent, and I never saw him coming," Heator said. "He just came up from behind my left side and punched me in the jaw."
He said he stumbled down the hall and into a nearby classroom.
"We fell over some other desks when some other students pulled him off of me," Heator said.
Moments later, IPS officers came and arrested the student.
"I think like he wanted to be in jail when they pulled him off me," Heator said. "He was pretty calm. He knew what was going on. When the officers came, he said, 'Put me in cuffs, take me to jail, I know what will happen.'"
Heator said he teaches because he's hoping to make a difference for students like the one who attacked him and broke his jaw today.
"I just feel like there's so many kids like him that it's hard to create a system that you can figure out why they're like that and meet their needs before they give up on themselves or do something stupid like this," he said.
Heator will have to have his broken jaw wired shut.
