A teacher apparently became violent against two students with a migrant background. One of the boys was injured so badly that he had to be treated as an inpatient in a clinic.

The police are checking for a racist background. According to the Victim Perspective Association, both boys were twelve years old at the time. The children continued to go to this school and there is no more school contact between the affected children and the teacher, says the Ministry of Education. The school management informed the Cottbus school authority about the incident on the day of the incident.
