14 –Year-Old Student In Bradford City Stabs Nigerian Teacher Over Mobile Phone
This is the moment a 14-year-old schoolboy was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after a science teacher was stabbed in a classroom in front of horrified pupils.
The teenager was taken into custody in Bradford City Centre after a large manhunt following the incident at Dixons Kings Academy.
Vincent Uzomah, a married father-of-two, remains in hospital after being stabbed in the stomach in an alleged row over a mobile phone before a science class at around 9am.
The 50-year-old Nigerian national had only joined the school four weeks before being stabbed by a youngster with what police believe was a kitchen knife.
He had earlier fled the school within seconds of the attack as emergency services brought Mr Uzomah to hospital where he remains in a stable condition.
Teachers later appealed for the boy to hand himself in and claimed he had brought a knife with him to school.
It has since emerged the child, who cannot be named for legal reasons, had been at the school for around a year and that there have been previous problems with his behaviour.
Described by police as Asian with short dark hair, he was said to have fled the school in his uniform shortly after the incident which took place at 8.50am.
Pupils in the Year 10 science class who witnessed the attack claimed it was the result of a row over a mobile phone.
