Behavioural problems in children can have several underlying causes, including ADHD, conduct disorder, oppositional defiant disorder (ODD), and other developmental or emotional difficulties.
A proper psychiatric evaluation is important to identify the underlying cause and determine the most appropriate treatment.
Therefore, it would be best to consult a psychiatrist for a comprehensive assessment and appropriate management.

I understand your concern. Children may sometimes struggle with following instructions, managing emotions or expressing themselves appropriately. Crying, screaming and hitting can be signs that a child is having difficulty coping, rather than simply misbehaving. Try to observe what triggers these behaviours and speak with his teacher to understand the pattern.
Please consider an assessment with a child psychologist or developmental paediatrician to understand what might be contributing to these difficulties. Meanwhile, give simple instructions, maintain consistent routines and appreciate small improvements rather than focusing only on mistakes. Early support can help him develop better emotional regulation and social skills.

A sudden change in behaviour of a child is not random. You should consult a psychiatrist if the child is medically normal, ie; if the child has no fever, epilepsy or any other medical problems.
The sooner you get in touch with someone the better it will be for the child.
Next Steps
Meet a psychiatrist nearby offline, if not possible book an online session.

Your child’s behaviors resemble Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD, or a communication/sensory processing disorder. Screaming, aggression, difficulty understanding instructions, and unusual speech are consistent with profound neurodevelopmental distress.
Next Steps
Consult psychologist Dr. Rupali Mohbe at BIRDY ME. You can schedule an online video consultation or book an offline visit at 208, CENTRAL, Sangath IPL, Motera, Ahmedabad, Gujarat.
Health Tips
Do not punish the aggression; instead, use simple, visual picture charts to help your child understand daily expectations.

This seems like a situation that needs genuine attention and a long interview with the child and parent/guardian. It'd also help to know if this behaviour has been present since long or newly developed. First thing you should do is to ensure safety of the child and of others, if he has been unruly with other kids/teachers. Please consult a Psychiatrist for detailed assessment and further treatment.
