Tiffani Shadell Lankford, the teacher in the video, was immediately removed from the post of the substitute teacher after the video went viral.

According to reports, the incident happened at the Lehman High School in Kyle, Texas.

The video of the horrible incident was captured by a student that was present inside.

In the video, a 16-year-old special needs girl student can be seen striking the substitute teacher in the face before being repeatedly punched on the face by the latter.
