KUALA LUMPUR: A discipline teacher sustained injuries to her eye after being hit by a student for cutting his hair.
Hulu Selangor OCPD Supt Arsad Kamaruddin said the incident occurred at a secondary school on Wednesday (Aug 3) at around 12.30pm.
"The victim received a report from another teacher that a 15-year-old student had long hair.
"She then cut the student's hair," Sinar Harian reported him as saying in a statement.

"He hit her with a broomstick causing injuries to her left eye," he said.
