Court documents allege Green followed the student into a school restroom, where a verbal confrontation began, and continued following the student to the cafeteria, where the situation escalated into a physical fight.
Records state Green placed the student in a headlock, and surveillance video allegedly shows Green and her daughter fighting the student, pulling her hair and clothing.
An administrator attempted to intervene, but court records say Green and her daughter continued the attack.
At one point, documents allege the student tried to disengage, but Green grabbed a chair and attempted to throw it at the student. Green is then accused of attacking the student again, pushing her into a cafeteria bench.
School staff eventually broke up the fight. The student was taken to Urgent Care and treated for injuries to her back, neck, and head, according to court documents. Records also state Green and her daughter left the campus without providing a statement.
Green was charged with injury to a child approximately two weeks after the incident. She is currently being held in the Harris County Jail on a $10,000 bond.
