Teenager admits attacking teacher with illegal stun gun

Marvin Airey, 19, temporarily paralysed a male teacher after electrocuting him with the illegal weapon outside Ashton Park School in Bristol.

He then punched a female teacher, breaking her jaw, as she tried to help her stricken colleague.

Airey, from Redcatch Road, Knowle, entered a guilty plea when he appeared at Bristol Crown Court.

The attack took place in October last year as teachers left the site during their lunch break.

After the attack, Acting Detective Inspector Guy Worrall said staff at the school were "shocked and outraged" by the assault.

The stun gun used in the attack was a Viper Defender, sold in South Africa, and is a "terrifying deterrent" according to the maker's website.

Police said the gun was classified as a firearm and was banned in the UK.

The device is said to deliver 950,000 volts, "causing extreme pain, muscle spasm, disorientation and loss of balance".

Airey admitted charges of assault, grievous bodily harm and possession of a weapon.

Judge John Foley adjourned the case for sentencing, following psychiatric reports.

A date is likely to be fixed in September.
