A grandfather in West Palm Beach, Fla. claims his grandson’s substitute teacher attacked him, leaving him in a wrist brace.

Alphonso Williams told WPEC News the unidentified teacher beat him up and that the attack was unprovoked.

“He managed to hit me on my temple then he kicked me on my side,” told Williams to WPEC. “I thought I was dreaming. This wasn’t happening to me.”

This isn’t the first time the family has had a run-in with the teacher. Allegedly, the same  person “roughed up” the grandson prior to this incident.
“I [told the teacher] ‘so you’re the one that my grandson said you be roughing… up?’ He got outraged and said ‘yes, I did and I’ll do it again,’” Williams told WPEC.

The school the unidentified employee worked at, West Riviera Elementary School, declined to comment since the investigation is ongoing.

However, the school district confirmed to WPEC the teacher has been removed from his duties and won’t be allowed back until the case is complete.

Still, Williams said the fight was uncalled for.

“He ripped his glasses off and ripped his sweater off and he came after me…he punched me,” said Williams. “He was like a mad man and [school employees] couldn’t hold him back. He broke away from them and came after me again.”

Williams said police plan on charging the unnamed teacher with assault.
