Head ‘in fire spray attack’

A HEAD teacher allegedly assaulted a classroom assistant by spraying a fire extinguisher in her face.

Jerome McCormack, 46, is accused of doing it during a safety demonstration to pupils in the playground last May.

The woman needed medical attention.

McCormack, 46, denied common assault at Christ the King primary school in Amesbury, Wilts.

He was bailed to appear before Salisbury magistrates again in January.
