Boy stabs a girl with a pen, who laughed at his bad school presentation

On Monday, April 8 2023, in Manaus, Brazil, a shocking video surfaced showing a student attacking a classmate at Dom Jacson Damasceno Rodrigues Municipal School. During a science project presentation, one student suddenly walked up to another, pulled out a pen, and started hitting her on the face, neck, and back. Other students tried to stop him as screams filled the room.

The attack seems to have been sparked by the victim laughing at the attacker’s mistake during the presentation. The 14-year-old aggressor was detained by school staff and later taken by police. He now faces charges similar to attempted homicide and will be handled by the juvenile court.
