A burly gym teacher is claiming a puny six-year-old student beat him up and caused him debilitating personal injury.
John Webster, a physical education teacher at P.S. 330 in Elmhurst, Queens, plans to sue New York City's Department of Education for failing to
protect the 27-year-old against the pint-sized youngster - his lawyer dubbed 'a tiny terror.'
The teacher says a scuffle with Rodrigo Carpio, then 50 lbs, on April 26 has left him with an injured meniscus in his right knee and ligament damage to his right ankle.
Webster has been unable to work since the incident and is out on medical leave.
His lawyer, Andrew Siben of Bay Shore, Long Island, told the MailOnline that the teacher is seeking compensation for his medical expenses in addition to damages, which Siben would not specify.
The teacher, who had taught at the Queens public school for two years, claims the school was aware of the 'student's propensity to be explosive ... when he acted like a tiny terror' but they failed to adequately intercede.
