An American high school student was arrested for attempting a wrestling move on his headteacher.
Florida student Gianny Sosa appeared in a Miami court this week after attempting an RKO finisher made famous by WWE superstar Randy Orton.
The 18-year-old was reportedly charged with assault and battery following the incident that occurred at Miami Southridge Senior High School.
CBS Miami uploaded footage of the bizarre incident onto their official Twitter account, with principal Humberto Miret identified as the victim of the failed move.

In the footage, Sosa can be heard shouting “RKO” before attempting to execute the famous WWE move.
But principal Miret managed to prevent the move by catching Sosa mid-air.
The student’s brother and sister insisted Sosa was not a violent person - and was merely have a joke.
“It feels like he’s being charged with something he does not deserve,” Mike Sosa told CBS4 .

“My brother is a nice guy and all he wanted was play around and make people feel happy about themselves.
“My brother is not the type of guy who goes out like this and is not a thug on the streets.
Camila Sosa added: “This could not have been violent move. I mean he weighs 135 pounds and there is no way he could have done this sort of move you see on WWE.”
