Duncan Lewis, Legal News Solicitors, Ten-Year-Old Arrested For Attacking His School Teachers

A ten-year-old schoolboy has been arrested by police for allegedly attacking his schoolteachers. The incident occurred at a primary school in Oprington in southeast London. The two teachers, both of whom are believed to be in the fifties, were both taken to hospital by ambulance. One of the teachers suffered from a broken leg as well as a suspected dislocation of the kneecaps. The other teacher suffered from facial injuries, according to a report from Scotland Yard.

Scotland Yard police officers were alerted to the incident following a call from the school that a male pupil had attacked two teachers. A spokesman for Scotland Yard stated that a ten-year-old boy had been arrested at the school on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm. The boy was granted bail and he is yet to attend a court hearing in mid-February.

Duncan Lewis’ personal injury solicitors can listen to the concerns of teachers who have sustained injuries through being attacked by the pupils they have been teaching in schools. The department understands that sustaining injuries in the workplace can be highly distressing. The team can instigate compensation claims for both special and general damages. They can therefore fight for compensation to cover the cost of lost income and on-going and future medical care. The department comprises highly skilled legal professionals, including solicitors and paralegals, and prides itself on having successfully obtained compensation for a vast number of clients. Duncan Lewis’ personal injury solicitors’ case-building excellence is highly regarded as a key factor in obtaining the maximum possible compensation for injuries sustained.
