A 15-YEAR-OLD schoolboy has been arrested over alleged assaults on three teachers.

The fourth-year-­pupil lashed out at around 9.45am at the Inverclyde school and three teachers, aged 61, 58 and 54, who tried to restrain him were allegedly attacked.

Police and ambulance were called and one teacher received medical treatment from a paramedic for bruising. All three teachers went back to work ­afterwards.

Police Scotland confirmed the teenager was arrested and has been reported to the children's panel.

An Inverclyde Council spokesman said: "A serious incident occurred this morning involving a fourth year pupil and a number of members of staff.

"Staff and ­pupils worked ­together to ensure the school returned to ­normal as quickly as possible."
