A school security guard has been suspended after video footage emerged of a teenage student appearing to be violently pushed to the floor from behind in a park. Co-op Academy Manchester, based in Higher Blackley, north Manchester, confirmed an internal investigation was underway.
UltraSec Security, which is contracted to provide security at the secondary school, confirmed a security guard had been suspended pending the outcome of the investigation. The video footage - which is being shared widely on social media - shows a man wearing a high-visibility tabard running at a boy.
He appears to wrap his arms around the pupil's waist and knock him to the floor. The incident - which was filmed in front of other students from the school - took place in nearby Plant Hill Park, off Plant Hill Road, after the school day had finished on Thursday.
The boy, who is understood to be 14, was in school on Friday 'fit and well', the academy added. The Manchester Evening News has been sent a screenshot of a message from the school to parents informing them of the incident.
In it, principal Chris Beard says: "A member of the security team, provided by an external company, used physical intervention to deal with a student's behaviour. We are formerly investigating this matter."
He added the student was 'safe and well' and the school has spoken with his family. Mr Beard goes on to write: "As a result of this incident, the security guard involved will not be on site whilst we investigate what happened. Incidents such as this are not representative of our community.
"On a personal note, I am troubled by what has happened and I want to make sure that all parents and carers know that we are taking immediate action."
