My child has recently become very irritable and violent. How should I handle this?

Recently, my 8-year-old son has been easily angered, both at home and at school, with increasing violent behavior. This week alone, it has happened three times, including pulling hair, grabbing or pulling forcefully, shouting, and running around wildly. Today, he even told his teacher he wanted to bite someone. He seems a bit out of control, which is very troubling. Is there any way to handle this?
