France: His maths teacher tries to take away his mobile phone, a 14-year-old pupil beats him up; according to a police source, he is said to have threatened to kill the teacher “by swearing on the Quran”

A 14-year-old pupil was arrested on Tuesday the 19th of December 2023 in the department of Maine-et-Loire in Cholet for violence and insults against two teachers. His maths teacher had tried to take away his mobile phone during class.

The teenager, who was “described as difficult”, had initially refused to hand over his phone to his maths teacher after the latter had caught him handling it, explained the public prosecutor of Angers, Eric Bouillard, in a press release.

“The minor was surrounded and in the scene he pushed a teacher, kicked him and tried to throw more punches,” explained the prosecutor.

“Contrary to what could be stated, no death threat was reported by the victims,” Bouillard emphasises. “Likewise, no religious references were made”.

According to a police source quoted by TF1, the teenager is said to have threatened the teacher with death by swearing on the Quran, which the prosecutor denies. (…) Midi Libre
