MEXICO CITY: An expensive private high school in Mexico said on Nov 29 it has suspended and may expel a student who was caught on video beating a parking lot attendant at his housing complex.

It was the latest in a decade-long string of beatings of working-class Mexicans by wealthy people that have caused anger in a country riven by stark income disparities. The incident happened in the central state of Puebla, where income inequality is particularly sharp.
