A Texas high school coach is recovering after getting jumped by a group of middle schoolers after school.
A disturbing video of the attack that happened Thursday was shared with FOX 26 Houston. It shows students chase down the coach at Langham Creek High School, part of the Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School District, before students punch the coach, and he falls to the ground.
“I heard there were kids doing donuts and stuff, causing a ruckus with their dirt bikes,” student Logan Wisniewski said. “The coach wasn’t happy with it. He asked them politely to stop doing that. The kids weren’t having that, so they decided to jump him.”
The video of the attack was the talk of the high school Friday, after many students had seen it.
