A scuffle in a Miami Gardens school cafeteria led to the arrest of a teenager, who now faces a battery charge, police said. Mitchel Christophe McField, a student at Miami Carol City Senior High School, allegedly got physical with a school security guard during lunchtime Monday. Local 10 News reported that the altercation was sparked by an attempt to prevent McField from re-entering the cafeteria.

The guard, trying to control the situation, met resistance when McField is said to have pushed him away. After being pushed in the chest, McField reportedly told the guard, "Get away from me mother*****," before shoving him again. According to officials, the incident unfolded when a school security guard extended both of his arms, resulting in McField pushing the security guard's arm, as per the arrest report obtained by Local 10 News.

Police confirmed that two school employees witnessed the incident and provided written statements. The level of violence escalated to the point where McField was accused of "beating" a school employee, which led to his subsequent arrest. However, it's worth noting that CBS Miami's coverage described the situation as merely a shove, rather than a beating. This is highlighted in a summary on CBS News' website, which referred to the confrontation as involving McField allegedly shoving a school security official.

A statement taken by officers from McField was redacted in the publicly released arrest report. The confrontation resulted in his arrest on a charge of battery on a school employee/official. McField was booked into the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center, still remaining held as of Wednesday on a $5,000 bond. According to CBS News' website, the student who was taken under custody on Wednesday was placed into the justice system's hands after shoving a security official.
