Wednesday, a schoolteacher was arrested in Zarqa for beating a seventh-grader and "pulling her hair."

According to the Zarqa Public Prosecutor, the student accidently walked into a classroom instead of the bathroom, which caused the teacher to lose her temper and beat the student, which led to her urinating in front of her classmates.

The Public Prosecutor charged the teacher with insulting a person and causing harm, and detained her for a week pending investigations.

A source close to the investigation told Roya that the student's guardian filed a complaint against the teacher, claiming that she abused his daughter, who urinated on herself, which led to her fainting afterwards.

The source added that the student had knocked on the door before walking into what she thought was the bathroom, and was blindsided by the teacher's reaction.

Not only did the teached hit the student and pull her hair, but she also had her stand in the corner as punishment, the source explained.

The student told the teacher that she needed to use the bathroom but the teacher refused to let her go, which led to the student urinating in the classroom in front of other students, the source said.

The student reportedly fainted following the incident, the source concluded.
