I'm a phys ed teacher for the same school district (New York City Department of Education). This is the kind of situation that I am very careful to avoid. I NEVER touch the students in any attempt to detain them, because I have no way of defending myself. He shouldn't have held his wrists, he should have just told the kid where to go and if he didn't follow along, then report the incident to a security guard, dean or principal/assistant principal, preferably a security guard because its always a good idea to avoid AP's whenever possible. If the kid decides to run around the school then I just report it and move on with my day. Unfortunately, students like this are allowed to run amok in the schools and the higher ups enable this behavior.
