Deputies say that a female paraprofessional took the Nintendo Switch away from him during class, which made him upset.

Surveillance video from the school shows the 17-year-old, who is 6’6" and 270 pounds, walking "fast" in the paraprofessional's direction and pushing her, which forced her on the ground where she became unconscious, officials said.

The female victim was taken to a local hospital for treatment.

At one point, the suspect can be heard saying "f--k you" to one of the deputies.

"I don't want to go to jail," the suspect said. 

Flagler County Sheriff Rick Staly said that the student's actions were uncalled for.

"The actions of this student are absolutely horrendous and completely uncalled for," Staley said. "We hope the victim will be able to recover, both mentally and physically, from this incident. Thankfully, students and staff members came to the victim’s aid before the SRDs could arrive. Our schools should be a safe place – for both employees and students."
