Ahmed Mohamed talks about being arrested at Irving school over clock

Posted by Anup Baral September 17, 2015 :A 14-year-old North Texas boy will not face charges after he was suspended over a homemade clock that teachers, administrators and police found suspicious.


Ahmed Mohamed, who is Muslim, was arrested at MacArthur High School in Irving on Monday afternoon. He said he enjoys tinkering with electronics and took the clock to school to show his engineering teacher. But an alarm on the clock went off in English class and his teacher confiscated it. "I told them it's a clock. And they told me, 'Why would you bring a clock to school?' And I was like to tell time. And the officer said, 'There's clocks here, clocks here, clocks around you everywhere.' And I told him that I wanted to impress my teachers so that I could feel appreciated for it, but instead I got the police called on me," he said. Police searched his belongings and removed him from school in handcuffs.youtube/foxnews
