A student punched a Maryland teacher last week over a racially insensitive comment, witnesses say.

The incident was reported Jan. 29, following a “misinterpretation of a comment in a classroom” at Forestville High School, according to Prince George’s County Schools. Students and parents familiar with the situation say the teacher, who appears beaten and bloody in a photo obtained by News4, made a racially insensitive comment.
