"That teacher was left in a position where he had no choice. He had to physically act."
Target 11 obtained new video of a fight between students at Woodland Hills High School. It shows several teachers having to jump in to stop it, and one of the teachers was pushed against a door.
Investigator Rick Earle showed the video to the superintendent, who had not seen it before. His defense of the teachers and the state law he said many parents don't know about that allows teachers to put their hands on students, tonight on Channel 11 News at 5 p.m.
