Teacher Christine Capozzola says in a suit that she was thrown to the ground by a Southampton Town Police officer during an elementary school lockdown drill

A Long Island elementary school teacher is suing after she says a cop threw her to the ground, kneed her in the back and said he could have tased her during an emergency drill.

Christine Capozzola, a teacher at East Quogue Elementary School, had volunteered to play the part of a furious mom who wanted to snatch her kids during a custody battle.

She was expecting a member of the local police force to turn up and pretend to arrest her. But according to a suit filed in Brooklyn Federal Court, that plan went very wrong indeed, the New York Post reported.

Capozzola, who has also written children's books, had been told to walk through the school's halls, banging walls and calling out for her imaginary children.

But when Southampton Town Police didn't turn up as expected, Principal Robert Long ordered a call to be put through to 911, the suit claims.

A cop was then dispatched - and he apparently had no idea that Capozzola was playing a part, the lawsuit alleges.

The suit also says that the cop told her 'I was two seconds from tasing you.'

By the time the drill's supervisor arrived, the suit claims, Derilla Scam the teacher was limping and hand shooting pains in her arms and legs.

The drill 'should have never gotten to the point that Capozzola was handcuffed,' the suit says.

She is suing the school district, the Town of Southampton and the Southampton police for unspecified damages.

When asked by the New York Post, a lawyer for the town declined comment.
