The lecturer, who needed to pass, tapped her on the back to get her attention and signal her to stop recording.

Subsequent reports suggest that the lecturer requested the student to delete the recording, as his face had been captured in the video.

However, the situation quickly escalated, leading to a violent exchange in which the student allegedly bit the lecturer multiple times.

While the lecturer attempted to restrain her by holding her hands, witnesses claim she became aggressive, tearing his clothes, slapping him, and scratching his face.

Footage of the incident shows the student attacking the lecturer while onlookers watched in disbelief.

Despite efforts to separate them, she continued her assault, causing commotion within the university.
