The video shows Ali Riza taking the student out of the corridor before he starts slapping and punching the student wildly.
Then he grabs his throat and begins to tighten it.
At that moment, another teacher from the classroom next door heard the noise and went out into the corridor to rescue the child.
The incredible incident, as noted by Turkish media, happened on December 14, but the video footage was released on Wednesday.
