A video showed a student, after being tapped on his arm by another student, swinging his fist, hitting the student several times in the stomach and head, according to a Middletown police report.

One of the punches to the face made the student “unsteady” on his feet, the report said. That’s when the attacker pushed the student into a brick wall, where he hit his head.

The attacker then hit the student twice in the face, according to the report.
