"US Police Arrest 5 Year Old"
The incident was caught on a video camera which was rolling in the classroom as part of a self-improvement exercise at the St Petersburg school. The video, made public by the lawyer this week, shows the unfolding of the violent tantrum, which started when the little girl refused to take part in a maths lesson. She then ripped some papers off a bulletin board and lashed out at staff trying to calm her down. Three officers rushed to the scene and handcuffed the girl, by that time apparently calm, after pinning her arms behind her back. The footage showed her in distress after being handcuffed.
