Machael Spencer-Edwards, 42, pulled the child into the hallways of Public School 202 on Hegeman Avenue and Berriman Street at around 10:30 a.m. on March 13, after the child lashed out and struck a teacher, police said.
Investigators say a principal at an East New York school last month kicked and hit a 7-year-old boy who was apparently acting out in class. NY1's Lindsey Christ filed the following report. "He said "he kicked me" and "he smacked me" and he told me that 'he knocked kids out'".
Edwards is charged with assault and acting in a manner injurious to a child.
The boy suffered bruising from the beating, but was not taken to a hospital, police said.
She took pictures of her son's swollen cheek and bruised stomach, injuries she attributed to Edwards. This principal has been removed from the school and reassigned away from students.
"What my son was, he said that the principal grabbed him by his arm", said one parent.

Defensive back Devin McCourty said he wouldn't attend because he doesn't feel welcome at the White House. "I'll leave it at that". Asked in February about his teammates' decision to snub Trump's invitation, Brady said "everybody has their own choice".
He was slapped with additional charges of endangering the welfare of a child, attempted assault, menacing and harassment, according to a criminal complaint.
When she and Hasheem's father met with the principal two days later, she says he denied it. Police sources say they eventually retrieved surveillance footage that led to the principal's arrest.
Department of Education spokesman Michael Aciman said in a statement, "This alleged behavior is deeply disturbing, and has no place in our schools".
The student's mother, Shema McKenzie, said that her son has ADHD and doesn't follow directions very well.
"He lifted up his shirt, his stomach was green and blue", McKenzie said, adding that she was "furious" when she found out what had happened.
The mom said that the school never spoke with her about the incident.
