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.'

Well, at least the teen didn't call her a '#####'. That would have been intolerable!

These urban thugs always attack someone weaker than they are.

I remember teens back in the early 1960s who felt it was their purpose in life to push the teachers “over the edge.”

Sounds like one student here decided to “go on the prod” himself.

This is the dawning of the Age of Aquavis.
