The teacher would be fully aware of what he should and should not do when dealing with a disruptive pupil, and whilst I can see the situation from his point of view, his experience and professionalism should have led him to take a different course of action - he now faces the consequences of his own inappropriate behaviour.

Anne you say that he would have been better dealing with the pupil by removing him from the room! But you also say that no teacher should be able to restrain a pupil without training - well how does one remove a pupil without making physical contact? So your contradicting yourself!
Also what about the human element - you get a milkshake thrown over you then possibly anticipated further attack - the response then is to protect yourself.
Also there was no complaint made by the pupil. This was all the doing of the school authorities.
