A high-school student harassed and shoved a transgender teacher at his Manhattan school this week, police sources said.
The 18-year-old student approached the 31-year-old teacher at the Murry Bergtraum High School on Pearl Street on the Lower East Side on Tuesday at about 11:20 a.m. before asking, “Yo Tranny, do you have any food for me?” according to the sources. He then grabbed the teacher by the chest and pushed her, the sources said.
The student, who is on medications for schizophrenia, was taken to Bellevue Hospital for psychiatric treatment, the sources said. He was not arrested.
