Teach busted in bash of 7-yr.-old

A TEACHER at a troubled Harlem elementary school with a long history of hurting kids has been arrested for his latest violent outburst, this time against a special-needs student, police allege.

Osman Couey, 53, was busted on Tuesday and charged with assaulting a 7-year-old student at PublicSchool194.

Cops said the young victim was kicked out of a classroom on Dec. 23,and started banging onthe door to try to get back in. Couey then tossed the boy, Ka’veon Wilson, across a hallway, police said. The child is still traumatized, his grandmother, Verlynn Phinazee, said. “He’s still scared of the dark. He still needs a nightlight in his room.”

City education spokeswoman Devora Kaye said the department is “seeking to terminate this teacher’s employment.” Couey has been at PS 194 since 1993 and has been accused several times of using corporal punishment against students, records dating back more than a decade show.
