(Handout)<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is not even bullying, this is outright assault \u2014 and he could have killed her,&#8221; the victim&#8217;s mother Lucinda Arroyo said, according to the Post.\u00a0&#8220;She was very angry at why he escalated so quickly from one thing to another. And you can tell [in the video] she just wanted to walk away from him because he\u2019s bad news. She\u2019s known him as someone who\u2019s bad news for a while.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The attack caused a concussion, bleeding, a possible brain injury, splitting headaches, and a twisted neck, injuries that will necessitate ongoing physical therapy, the mother said, according to the outlet.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The video was passed around like entertainment, and that pissed me off the most. She\u2019s ignoring him, so he basically forced her to pay attention to him. And his friends are laughing after that. It\u2019s not just one bully, but community bullying,&#8221; the mother noted, according to the outlet.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;She\u2019s not going back to that school\u2026 that school can\u2019t keep her safe,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p>But the suspect&#8217;s mom, Selma Allen, described her son as a &#8220;humble&#8221; Christian and claimed that the girl had bullied him at school, the outlet reported.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;She was being a bully to him, that\u2019s it,&#8221; she told the outlet. &#8220;He\u2019s been complaining about her. I bring it to the principal\u2019s attention, but he don\u2019t address it. The way my son is being bullied, he doesn\u2019t want to go to school.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/sports\/chiefs-assistant-coach-charged-misdemeanor-domestic-battery-daughter-nfl-draft\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">CHIEFS ASSISTANT COACH CHARGED WITH MISDEMEANOR DOMESTIC BATTERY AGAINST DAUGHTER JUST BEFORE NFL DRAFT<\/a><\/p>\n<p> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/nyc-teen-stomping-2.jpeg\" alt=\"Boy confronting girls on the street\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\"\/> <\/p>\n<p>The teen suspect was charged with assault after the brutal attack that was captured on video.
