A 14-YEAR-OLD boy was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder yesterday after a teacher was stabbed in front of his class at a school in Bradford.

He allegedly attacked a 50-year-old male teacher, understood to be Vincent Uzomah, at Dixons Kings Academy with a smuggled knife.

Paramedics rushed the teacher to hospital, where he is thought to be in a stable condition with a single stab wound to the stomach.

“I am shocked and incredibly sad to hear that a teacher has been stabbed at a school in the UK,” said teaching union ATL leader Mary Bousted.

“Our best wishes are with the teacher, his friends and work colleagues and the pupils at the school.

“Thousands of dedicated teachers are working in schools and colleges with our children and young people every day, and they should never have to face verbal or physical violence.”

The boy was arrested in Bradford city centre.
