Lampung student slashes teacher

BANDAR LAMPUNG, Lampung: Police are hunting a senior high school student who hacked his teacher with a knife, seriously injuring him Tuesday.

Police said the third grader of Wonosobo State High School, whose name has been suppressed, lost his temper when offended by advice from his teacher, Fathur Rozi.

The incident happened after Rozi summoned the student to his office to reprimand him for misconduct.

The student chopped Rozi's right arm from behind as they walked out of the room. The attack appears to have been premeditated, Antara reported. (pan)
