A disturbing video, allegedly taken a week ago at Parkland’s Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida, shows a brutal beating that led to the hospitalization of one teen and the arrests of another five. While a few students examined the boy lying unconscious on the ground, many more kept recording the chaos.

Witnesses told Local 10 News the Dec. 12 incident escalated out of control from a small argument after school dismissal. The video shows a group of boys fighting a teen when suddenly, someone picks him up and slams him head first onto the concrete.

The CSPD said with help from the Broward Sheriff’s Office and Broward County State Attorney’s Office, they identified the kids in the video. Five teens, all under the age of 18 years old, were arrested last Thursday and charged with felony battery. A sixth person is being sought by the department.

As for the victim of the incident, the report says he sustained a skull fracture and is home following hospitalization.

“This incident is deeply upsetting, and we’re thankful that the injured student is recovering. Our thoughts are with him, his family and all of the families that have been impacted,” said Broward County School Board Chair Lori Alhadeff in a statement.

Parkland’s Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School is the same high school where Nikolas Cruz opened fire killing 17 people in 2018.
