A BOY aged NINE has been suspended from school after pulling a knife on his headmistress.
The lad, who has not been named, brandished the weapon during a lesson and sent screaming classmates fleeing in terror.
Headteacher Jan McAll was not injured.
Last night parents demanded to know how the boy — known for bad behaviour — got the blade into Two Mile Hill Junior School, Bristol.
The mum of one girl said: “What would have happened if he’d pulled the knife on one of the pupils? It doesn’t bear thinking about.”
Another parent said: “The school seems to want to play down this incident but it needs to be addressed before someone is seriously injured.”
School governors will now decide whether to expel the boy.
Katharine de Lisle, of Bristol Council, said: “We already have a policy in place on managing behaviour, including guidance on knives and other weapons.”
