A teen who allegedly attacked two of his school teachers is being charged as an adult, prosecutors confirmed - after one of the suspected strikes went viral.
Aquavis Hickman, a 17-year-old student at Parkland High School in North Carolina, was indicted on the assault and kidnapping charges last week, Forsyth County District Attorneys said.
He is being charged as an adult in the two separate attacks, one of which was filmed.
In the first, un-filmed incident, he allegedly attacked a male teacher at the school on February, and in their statement, prosecutors said he did not act alone.
Then, last month, officials claimed the teen walked up to a female teacher and smacked her twice, with footage of the alleged attack later circulating on social media. It has yet to be released by cops.
Scroll down for video:
'That video went viral nationwide and it put us on the map in a negative manner,' Winston-Salem Police Chief William Penn told Fox affiliate WGHP-TV News during a joint press conference following Hickman's arrest Thursday.
'I am so glad today that the rest of the nation will also hear that we do not tolerate that in Winston-Salem and Forsyth County.'
Also in attendance were Forsyth County District Attorney Jim O'Neill and Forsyth County Sheriff Bobby Kimbrough, at a meeting intended to serve as the first step in taking a stand against violence against educators, organizers said.
'Our message to our community is simple,' O'Neill told reporters around a crowded podium.
'We stand with the teachers. We will fight to protect those teachers. And if you lay a hand on a teacher and assault a teacher, you can expect that the punishment will be swift and severe. Promise made. Promise kept.'

Little Aquavius needs to be tried, convicted, and to do some hard time. Then, when released, he needs to be shot dead by his first subsequent intended victim.
[I said, “Billy, why aren’t you trying harder in Reading class?]
Probably had parent(s) who thought all he had to do was show up, and magically he’d become a Rhodes Scholar, instead of a Road Worker.
Or what this kid is going to be, a Highwayman.
Little brother of Aquamin.
After brushing, I use Aquavis.
If she had did that, she would have never gotten out of jail. Punks such as this are protected by the Law.
Another “teen” in the news.
Yes, he did have both parents. They were a successful family. I was distressed by his failure.
It’s them again, Yogi.
Another son of Obeyme.
Good news.
And, he didn’t ‘allegedly’ slap this teacher.
It’s on vid. He DID slap her, Daily Mail.
He will never be a contributing member of society - always a festering, violent criminal who will be nothing but destruction for the rest of his pathetic life.
I hate it when they claim something verifiable like that is *alleged*.
What idiots. It’s not alleged unless it’s one persons word against another. If there are witnesses or video (these days), there’s no *alleged* about it.
What I find quite humorous is the way the media bends backward to not mention the race of the perp, and then they print the name, and the name tells you exactly what you suspect.
“(this was in 1957.)”
Lived in Pompano Bch 1971 and nothing changed. I had kids in my 8th grade JH that were 17-18 years old, couldn’t read and just beat the hell out of anyone getting in their way.
I’m sure the education system is better now with DEI and rubber stamping diplomas?
he should be jailed for a long time..
So sad we have to live among evil subhumans.
