Police have charged a 21-year-old man who allegedly punched a teacher in the face at a King City school last month.

On Nov. 10, York Regional Police said an unknown man gained entry to King City Secondary School on King Road, east of Keele Street, just before 11:30 a.m.

The teacher, a 37-year-old man, suffered minor injuries, police said. There were no students in the school at the time.

On Thursday, police asked the public’s help in identifying the suspect, releasing a surveillance image of the man.
