The incident took place at around 2pm on Wednesday during the sports day for a secondary school at the Tai Po Sports Ground.
The boy, 15, was allegedly poking fun at the Form Four girl pupil and the girl subsequently reported it to a teacher. The teacher tried to mediate but reportedly became emotional and pushed the boy to the ground.
