Furious Teen Stabs Teacher in the Eye and Attacks Fellow Students (Video)

A 14-year-old boy stabbed a teacher in the eye and knifed two students this morning after pulling out two knives and screaming ‘I’m going to kill you’ during a horrific rampage at a Spanish school. 

The teenager, who has not been named, allegedly stabbed three teachers and two students repeatedly as classes started at around 8.25am at the Elena García Armada Institute in the city of Jerez de la Frontera, southern Spain.

The 14-year-old, said to have autism, had entered the classroom this morning before he took out two large knives from his backpack and began ‘stabbing everyone who passed by’, police sources claim. 

He allegedly stabbed his classmates and tried to take them hostage before the teachers tried to restrain him – but this is when he allegedly stabbed one female teacher in the eye and two other tutors.

Police were called to the scene where they found the 14-year-old pupil on the third floor carrying to knives before they arrested him. 

Four of the injured were treated in hospital, including a teacher who will need surgery to her eye after being stabbed by the pupil, the regional government’s eduction minister, Patricia del Pozo, told reporters. 

Several students told Spanish media the pupil first stabbed members of his class and the teacher who suffered the eye injury before he ran to another classroom and continued his attack.

One student, who was not identified, told private television La Sexta the attacker ran to the back of the class, ‘dropped his backpack on the floor and pulled out the knives before shouting ‘I’m going to kill you!”

‘He was running, chasing people, everyone went out into the playground,’ he added. 

Another unnamed student told Canal Sur television the pupil had ‘a look on his face like he wanted to stab everyone.’ 

Panicked parents, upon hearing the news of the stabbing, rushed to the school where they had dropped their children off only minutes earlier. 

They were seen standing by the school gates, waiting and hoping that their children would emerge unscathed. Students were evacuated from the school and given the rest of the day off.

‘It was devastating and dramatic because all the parents were outside the school wishing they could hug their children,’ Jerez de la Frontera mayor Maria Jose Garcia-Pelayo told reporters, adding that the teachers managed to disarm the suspect.

‘They acted very diligently to protect the children…what happened is very serious and it requires us to reflect.’

The suspect is currently being questioned by police at the Jerez police station. 

The head of Andalusia’s regional government, Juan Manuel Moreno, said the trigger for the attack was not clear but flayed ‘extreme violence’ on television and elsewhere.

‘We should all reflect on the role played by violence on television, in the movies, in games. The violence which we very often see on social media, gratuitous, sometimes extreme violence,’ he added.

The head of the Spanish bishops’ conference, Archbishop Francisco Cesar Garcia Mogan, called for ‘urgent reflection’ and a focus on mental health in education.

Spain has a low crime rate – especially of violent crime – compared to other European countries.

Excluding 2020, when incidents of crime were especially rare because of pandemic-induced lockdowns, 2021’s crime rate of 41.4 incidents per 1,000 people was the lowest in recent history, according to the government.
