A shocking video has emerged that shows a Las Vegas student viciously pounding another girl on the head dozens of times — as other classmates stand by and laugh. The unnamed girl was seen pummeling the student, who lifts her hands to protect herself from the barrage for the first eight seconds of the clip filmed in a Las Vegas High School classroom.
A person believed to be the teacher is heard yelling at the attacker, “Stop! Stop! Stop! Get off of her!” But the brutal beatdown continues — and other students are heard laughing. In the remaining 10 seconds or so of the graphic footage, the victim stops defending herself and rests her battered head on the desk.
It was unclear what injuries she suffered or what sparked the attack, KTNV reported. The unnamed suspect has been charged with battery and may face additional charges, Clark County School District police Lt. Bryan Zink told News 3 Las Vegas. The graphic video of the punches lasts around 18 seconds. About eight seconds in, the girl being attacked stops lifting her hands up to protect herself, and her head lies on the desk.
She does not lift her head up after the attack ends. It is not clear what injuries she sustained or what condition she is in. Clark County School District says it is aware of the matter and it is investigating. The school district says it cannot comment on what kind of disciplinary action was taken due to privacy laws but went on to say, “in general, students can face administrative disciplinary action at school or be referred to law enforcement for possible criminal prosecution depending on the severity of the matter.”
Meanwhile, Clark County School District Police Department says a Las Vegas High School student was cited for battery on Wednesday. The principal of Las Vegas High School sent an email to parents regarding the altercation: “Earlier this week your student may have witnessed an altercation in one of their classes,” Principal Ronnie Guerzon wrote. “Administration is aware and responding to this matter and it is being addressed through the appropriate channels.
