A Queens teacher arrested for allegedly beating a special-needs student whom he accused of cheating on a test was caught on a disturbing audio recording tormenting the boy before the assault, the student’s lawyers said Tuesday.
“So you were trying to get over on me. You must think I’m stupid, cause your ass was sitting right there, cheating,” someone on the recording, allegedly 36-year-old special-ed teacher Alexander Perry, said to the 10-year-old boy, identified in court papers as M.B.
The recording was secretly made by a classmate at PS 118 in St. Albans on Jan. 23.
“Don’t I owe you from yesterday? What you did yesterday that I didn’t whoop your ass for? Huh, tell me. What didn’t I whoop your ass for yesterday?” the recording continues.
Someone can then be heard hitting the boy, who wails as he begs the assailant to stop the assault. A female assistant teacher pulls him off the victim.
“You’re lucky she stopped me cause I wasn’t finished. Now do your damn test before I smack your ass,” the assailant allegedly said.
