A science teacher appeared in court in the UK today charged with the attempted murder of one of his students.
Peter Harvey, 49, is accused of attacking 14-year-old Jack Waterhouse at All Saints' Roman Catholic School in Mansfield on Wednesday morning.
Paramedics found the teenager unconscious in a pool of blood at the entrance to a classroom in the school's science block.
He is in a stable condition at the Queen's Medical Centre in Nottingham, where he is being treated for a bleed on the brain and a fractured skull.
Mr Harvey, of Rannoch Drive, Mansfield, spoke only to confirm his name and address during a 10-minute hearing at the town's magistrates' court.
He was remanded in custody to appear at Nottingham Crown Court by videolink on 27 July.
