A schoolboy with ADHD who slammed his teacher onto the concrete ground and left her in a pool blood has avoided prison.

Carol Shaw was subjected to a savage attack by Kieran Matthew, 17, that left her unconscious in a pool blood after she asked him to change separately from other pupils.

Shortly after carrying out the vicious assault on March 22 2024 at St Paul's Academy in Dundee, the teenager put his feet up on another teacher's desk and said: 'The stupid cow deserved it.'

Matthew, from Dundee, now aged 18, has been handed a community sentence and ordered on a 'Mentoring for Men' course.

The court heard Ms Shaw had been left 'permanently disfigured' with a 'significant scar' and was too traumatised to return to work.
