Other students (pictured in black) are seen in the classroom and several appeared in shock as the incident took place.

Authorities identified the woman in the video as Tiffani Shadell Lankford, 32, who was immediately fired from her position as a substitute teacher and arrested.

Lankford, who has a prior offense for a 2014 domestic violence incident, has been charged with aggravated assault.

Police said the student was taken to a local hospital. She is still recovering from severe injuries. Lankford was taken to the Hays County Jail, but she posted bond on Saturday.

The teen’s family released a statement through their attorney, Paul Batrice, saying that they were horrified by the incident.
