parent had been brutally beaten by the teen<\/a> after he allegedly \u201cthreatened to slash their throat\u201d outside Wollert Secondary College.<\/p>\nThe Herald Sun understands the father had arrived at the school to pick up his daughter and confronted a group of students whom he mistakenly believed were bullying her. <\/p>\n
The argument quickly escalated before an older student \u2014 who trains in mixed martial arts \u2014threw a volley of punches at the man in front of horrified onlookers, including the man\u2019s own daughter.<\/p>\n
There is no suggestion the student trained in MMA had any involvement in the bullying.<\/p>\n
The Herald Sun has since obtained three separate clips showing the confrontation spiralling out of control.<\/p>\n
In one video, the father appears to speak to a student before the older student intervenes.<\/p>\n
The parent attempts to strike back, but the teenager blocks the blow. <\/p>\n
Another student then restrains the father\u2019s arms from behind while the teen goes on the attack.<\/p>\n
The man is eventually knocked to the ground, falling onto a bystander, before a school official and other onlookers break up the fight and help the parent to his feet.<\/p>\n
In another video, believed to be taken minutes after the first brawl, a group of students can be seen setting upon the father on the nature strip. <\/p>\n
The footage shows the man on the ground, surrounded while being repeatedly struck by students.<\/p>\n
He briefly manages to stand and push the students back, but is shoved back down and attacked again.<\/p>\n
A moment later an adult intervenes and helps break up the fight with the students walking away. <\/p>\n
A third video, recorded at the bus stop, captures the father in a heated argument with two students. <\/p>\n
The confrontation escalates into a brief shoving match between the parent and one of the students before the altercation breaks off.<\/p>\n
A parent at the school, who wished to remain anonymous, said it was \u201csad that this is what happens at our schools these days\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf our parents are behaving this way how do we expect the children to turn out any better?\u201d<\/p>\n
She also said the school \u201cwas not aware\u201d of the parent\u2019s child \u201cbeing bullied\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201dFrom what I\u2019ve heard she wasn\u2019t getting bullied. A plastic bottle was thrown in the classroom and it hit her head \u2014 it wasn\u2019t done on purpose,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Shocking video footage has emerged showing the moment a fired-up parent was battered to the ground under a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":875201,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[570],"tags":[444808,444786,444807,444776,444778,444770,444809,444780,444774,395532,444806,444775,444781,444773,444777,425940,444779,379343,172855,444811,444790,404002,444765,444798,444771,444784,440116,418701,64,63,40316,444768,786,21883,5588,10806,388440,380106,444785,444804,13307,5660,10280,785,444813,399506,444801,444796,444782,443311,444766,43508,239139,61963,444800,444812,444769,85,5327,444797,444787,390368,444795,443408,444789,444803,378538,444767,444788,377643,347190,444799,378046,377511,378658,225862,444793,444792,393159,389819,444772,444783,387403,384947,444794,392395,397700,380966,444802,444805,446,444810,444791],"class_list":["post-875200","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mma","tag-s-arms","tag-s-child","tag-s-own-daughter-there","tag-a-barrage","tag-a-brief-shoving-match","tag-a-bystander","tag-a-confrontation","tag-a-fired-up-dad","tag-a-fired-up-parent","tag-a-heated-argument","tag-a-melbourne-school","tag-a-mma-trained-teen","tag-a-northern-suburbs-secondary-college","tag-a-plastic-bottle","tag-a-school-official","tag-a-student","tag-a-third-video","tag-a-volley","tag-a-group","tag-again-a-moment","tag-alleged-threat","tag-an-adult","tag-an-alleged-bully","tag-an-mma-trained-teen","tag-an-older-student","tag-another-student","tag-another-video","tag-any-involvement","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-bullying","tag-control-in","tag-fighting","tag-fists","tag-front","tag-fury","tag-her-head","tag-his-daughter","tag-his-feet-in","tag-horrified-onlookers","tag-last-week","tag-minutes","tag-mixed-martial-arts","tag-mma","tag-mma-trained-teen","tag-no-suggestion","tag-off-a-parent","tag-one-video","tag-other-onlookers","tag-our-parents","tag-our-schools","tag-parent","tag-punches","tag-purpose","tag-shocking-footage","tag-shocking-video","tag-shocking-video-footage","tag-sports","tag-students","tag-students-he","tag-the-altercation","tag-the-argument","tag-the-attack-the-man","tag-the-blow","tag-the-bullying-the-herald-sun","tag-the-bus-stop","tag-the-children","tag-the-classroom","tag-the-confrontation","tag-the-father","tag-the-fight","tag-the-first-brawl","tag-the-footage","tag-the-ground","tag-the-man","tag-the-moment","tag-the-nature-strip","tag-the-older-student-intervenes-the-parent","tag-the-parent","tag-the-school","tag-the-student","tag-the-students","tag-the-teen","tag-the-teenager","tag-their-throat","tag-these-days","tag-this-masthead","tag-this-way","tag-three-separate-clips","tag-two-students","tag-video","tag-wollert-secondary-college","tag-wollert-secondary-college-the-herald-sun"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/875200","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=875200"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/875200\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/875201"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=875200"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=875200"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=875200"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
