(CNN) A Florida middle school teacher has been arrested after he was seen on video grabbing a student in class and carrying him to a hallway where he pushed him, authorities said.

Jeffrey Paffumi, 47, was arrested Wednesday on a misdemeanor battery charge, a day after he grabbed the 14-year-old student at Buddy Taylor Middle School in Palm Coast, the Flagler County Sheriff's Office said

A separate student used a cellphone to record Tuesday's encounter on video, and school administrators and the school's resource deputy were alerted on Wednesday, leading to Paffumi's arrest, authorities said.

Both Paffumi and the boy told an investigating deputy that incident happened after the two had a dispute over music that the teen was playing at his desk, and after the teen called the teacher a "cracka," according to an arrest report.

The sheriff's department released a recording of the video to the news media. The copy does not show the entirety of the original recording, but the copy represents all the video that the sheriff's office received, according to sheriff's office spokeswoman Brittany Kershaw.
