The disagreement arose during a morning briefing where the head teacher addressed concerns raised by teachers regarding exam preparation and stationery.

A comment about the new teacher’s attire led to a heated exchange, resulting in the head teacher being assaulted.

The assailant, believed to be a martial arts instructor, unleashed a series of blows, overpowering the head teacher.

Other teachers attempted to intervene but were unable to stop the attack.

The head teacher was subsequently hospitalized while the assailant left the scene.
