A WOMAN was arrested by the police Wednesday after slapping a Grade Three student of St. Margaret’s Primary School, Georgetown.She was subsequently placed on station bail.

Reports revealed that the woman visited the school and asked the security guard to speak with a specific teacher. She then proceeded to the classroom where the student was and slapped the pupil because of an issue the child had with her son.

Police said someone then made contact with the assaulted child’s parents and a confrontation and commotion ensued at the school once they arrived. The woman rushed to the head-teacher’s office to be rescued; the head-teacher then summoned the police. The woman was then carried away to the station by three female ranks.

Meanwhile, on Tuesday police from the Criminal Investigation Department had also visited the school when a report was made that spent shells were seen in a garbage receptacle.

The police uplifted the shells and investigations are continuing.
