Four high school students who were recorded slamming a teenage boy down into concrete have been arrested and charged in the brutal beating.
The cruel fight broke out last Tuesday near Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, where one of the worst school shootings in US history occurred years ago.
A video shows a teen boy holding the victim on his shoulder and throwing him onto the concrete with his head hitting the ground first. The victim lies facedown with his blue shirt rolled half up his torso as a huge crowd watches around him.
‘Check if he’s breathing, dawg,’ someone is heard saying.
