DAYTON - A Patterson-Kennedy Elementary School student sent his 54-year-old teacher to the hospital after biting him in the forearm Monday, Oct. 5.

Police responded to the Dayton City school, at 258 Wyoming St., about 11:30 a.m. after school officials said they had to pry the child from the teacher’s arm, according to a police report.

The child was brought to assistant principal Jack Johnson’s office by teacher Stephen Green for being disorderly in the classroom, the report stated. The child began throwing things in the office and had to be restrained by Green.

While clutching the child, Green was bitten in the forearm, Johnson told police. The child would not release Green’s arm and Johnson had to pry the boy’s mouth open — with his hands.

Green went to the hospital to be treated for the bite, the report stated. The child was transferred to Kettering Hospital for a psychological evaluation.

The child is being charged with felonious assault, but was not taken to the juvenile detention center. A court date has not been set.
