This is the moment an irritated teacher swipes the chair from under a cocky teen before he gets to his feet and hits her around the face.

The incident took place in the city of Pskov in the north-western Russian region of Pskov Oblast after the unnamed 16-year-old kept on disturbing the class.

In the footage, the burly teen is seen rocking in his seat as he talks with the female teacher standing by the door.

The teacher appears angered by something and she marches over to the teen and swipes his chair from under him, sending him crashing to the floor.

The angered teen then gets up and menacingly approaches the woman, throwing a right hand in her face as the video cuts.

According to local media, the disruptive student was refusing to listen to his teacher and she reacted by knocking him off his chair.

The incident is being investigated by the police.

The teen in question has reportedly been on the school’s watch list for his behaviour for a while.

One of the teenager’s friends said: “I know that his parents like to have a drink. They haven’t really spent much time educating him, but he is not a bad person. I don’t find him short-tempered.”
