A SCIENCE teacher arrested after a schoolboy was left with serious head injuries is being held on suspicion of attempted murder, police said yesterday.

Peter Harvey is also being questioned about alleged assaults on two other pupils during the same incident at All Saints’ Roman Catholic School in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire in England on Wednesday.

Officers were called to the school in Broomhill Lane after paramedics arrived to find the 14-year-old pupil in a pool of blood at the entrance to a classroom in the science block.
