The shocking moment a high school student launched a racist attack on his science teacher has been captured on camera.
The student, who has been named online and across social media as Gideon Yapp, became enraged at his Eastside High School teacher in Lancaster, California, who he called 'Dr Hsu' during the clip.
School records show there is a Franklin Hsu at the school who teaches physics.

The student then aggressively fronts up to the professor and yells: 'You do not come up to me and get in my goddamn face.'
Hsu, who is clearly trying to walk back to the front of the class to continue with the lesson, replies: 'All right, go sit down.'
But that outrages the student to the point he launches another verbal attack.
'No, you go sit down, come up to me like that, who the f*** do you think you are,' Yapp cries, as the teacher walks back to his desk at sits down.

The video started by showing the teacher and student arguing near the door of the classroom (left). The student was then seen walking towards the teacher and confronting him (right)
'I'm not f***ing playing. Come up to me and do that to me, I'll do it to you, b***h.'
It is not clear from the video what the student is talking about, but the teacher is then heard again in the video telling him to go sit down.
'Shut your f***ing mouth, f***ing tell me, who the f*** do you think you are,' the student is heard shouting in the teacher's face.
'F***ing n****r, f***ing b***h,' the student shouts at his Asian teacher, before appearing to break part of a tap and throw it at the teacher.
Yapp then walks towards the classroom door, stopping only to kick a bin and hurl more racial abuse.
'F*** n****r,' he yells, before picking up the bin and tipping its contents out all over the floor.
'Fix up your f***ing room,' he then yells at the teacher.

The student is then hurried out of the room by another teacher, at which point he shouts back at the teacher: 'F***ing whack a** n****r.'
There is no video of what happened to send Yapp into a rage.
But at least one student at the school was quick to come to his defense.
'He's just, like, so sweet, you would never think of him doing anything,' Ashley Figgers told CBSLA.
'And then to hear this, it's like, "Him? No!"'
The high school also released a statement after the footage was shared across social media.
'We take this type of situation very seriously. Our teachers’ safety is of the utmost importance to us,' Principal Kristen Tepper said.
'The incident has been investigated and appropriate action by school administration has been taken.'
It is not known whether Yapp has been punished by his school. He has deleted all his social media accounts since his name was published over the weekend.
