Teen girl in critical condition after horrific video shows high school student repeatedly bashing her head into concrete



A teen girl in Missouri is in critical condition after having her head repeatedly bashed into the concrete during a fight, according to horrific video and authorities.

The brutal fight video was widely shared on social media this weekend because of it being so extremely appalling.

KTVI reported, "One person is hospitalized with critical injuries after a fight Friday near Hazelwood East High School."

The outlet did not name the victim or the perpetrator of the violent crime.

Video of the confrontation shows two high school girls square off to fight in the middle of a street.

Within seconds, one student throws down the other teen girl to the pavement. She then unleashes a flurry of punches to the girl's face. When another female student attempts to intervene, she is attacked by other teenage girls.

After being punched at least a dozen times in the face, the more aggressive student then grabs the teen girl by the hair and repeatedly and viciously slams her head onto the concrete, according to the video.

The victim had her head violently bashed into the pavement at least four times.

The teenage girl is seen on video lying unconscious on the pavement and begins to go into convulsions after the monstrous attack.

The Missouri news outlet noted that there were no arrests in the horrific assault as of Saturday.

The St. Louis County Police Department is reportedly investigating the chilling beatdown.

A police department spokesperson told KMOV that there will be an update regarding the shocking attack on Monday.

The Hazelwood School District released a statement about the abominable fight video.

"It is a tragedy anytime children are hurt," the statement said. "Bullying and fighting in the community is an issue for which we all need to take ownership and work towards a resolution for the sake of our children. The Hazelwood School District offers our sincerest condolences to everyone involved and will offer additional emotional support from our support and crisis team to those in need."

"We look forward to continuing to partner with our community for the sake of our children. Please be kind and respectful of the families involved during this difficult time and pledge to help work toward the betterment of our entire community," the district added.

Video: Brawl erupts on cruise ship after passenger dies from falling overboard off the coast of Florida



Video shows a brawl erupting on a cruise ship after a passenger fell overboard and died off the coast of Florida.

Around 5 a.m. on Thursday, a 36-year-old female passenger aboard the MSC Meraviglia cruise ship fell off the vessel, which has a capacity of 4,500 passengers and 1,600 crew members. The cruise ship was sailing from Ocean Cay in the Bahamas to Port Canaveral, Florida.

The ship's advanced man overboard detection system alerted the crew that a passenger had gone overboard. The ship's crew carried out an immediate search and rescue operation off the coast of Port Canaveral.

Cruise passenger Marisa Aebi told the Daily Mail that the ship turned around "very fast." She added, "We were all told to go to and stay in our rooms as they did a head count."

The U.S. Coast Guard was notified and joined the search for the overboard woman with boats and a helicopter.

The Coast Guard said that the woman's body was recovered from the Atlantic Ocean approximately 18 miles off the coast of Port Canaveral around 7:30 a.m. on Thursday.

MSC Cruises issued a statement: "Unfortunately, despite the rapid rescue operation, the passenger sustained fatal injuries. We are offering our full support to authorities as they investigate this matter. We are deeply saddened by this incident and offer our sincerest condolences to the family and those affected."

The cause of the incident is under investigation.

The MSC Meraviglia cruise ship returned to Port Canaveral.

Aebi said that "several fights broke out" during the disembarkation "over how long it was taking to get off." She also claimed that several people were arrested for the brawl on the cruise ship.

According to a Report on Operational Incidents issued by the Cruise Lines International Association, 212 cruise passengers fell overboard between 2009 and 2019. There were approximately 30 million cruise passengers in 2019, according to the Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA).

In November, a man fell overboard from a Carnival cruise ship. He was able to survive in the open sea for up to 15 hours until the Coast Guard rescued him.
