Torino teacher assaulted by student during class

A 52-year-old teacher, Bruno Vadalà, was hospitalized after being attacked by a 14-year-old student during a lesson at the Itts Carlo Grassi high school in Torino on Wednesday morning.

The incident occurred while the teacher was conducting an oral examination. According to reports, Vadalà was attempting to assist the second-year student with a question regarding the twentieth caliber when the student punched him in the face, causing him to fall. The student then allegedly threw a chair at the teacher's head.

A colleague intervened to stop the assault and alerted emergency services. Vadalà was transported to the San Giovanni Bosco hospital with a fractured nose and a 30-day medical prognosis. The teacher described the attack as “unmotivated violence,” noting that he had been trying to support the student during the test. The minor has been taken to the Carabinieri for questioning and will be reported to the juvenile prosecutor's office for injuries.
