Four of the teenagers accused of savagely beating a student outside Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida have been pictured after being charged with felony battery.

Chinua Leefatt, 15, Jordan Thompson, 16, Caleb Hensley, 17, and Sylvester Hicks Jr, 16, are all in custody and have had their mugshots released. Jahmeer Beautziel, 17, has not yet been arrested.

All of the charged attackers attend the school - the site of one of America's worst mass shootings - except for Leefatt, who attends Coral Glades High School.

Video of the shocking fight shows a teen boy carrying the victim over his shoulder before he slams him head-first onto the concrete, fracturing his skull and rendering him unconscious.

A friend of the victim said 15 people had been chasing him before the vicious attack, which occurred as he was walking towards the school parking lot.

The video sees at least two attackers continuing to punch the victim after he was smashed into the ground.

Several other teen boys then approach the unnamed student and appear to try to help him, but he remains unresponsive.

Witnesses said that one teen pulled a knife out during the altercation last week.

Patrick Fox, a friend of the victim, told WSVN: 'I was there when they started chasing him, but when I left, he was just in an ambulance leaving, so I heard that he got he fractured his skull or something.'

The student who was attacked was hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries following the assault and is now reportedly recovering at home.

Detectives with Coral Springs police made arrests overnight on Thursday, with all four being taken to the Juvenile Assessment Center.

The suspects have all been charged with one count of felony battery, which police said reflects 'the serious nature of their actions.'

When apes attack, they always team up 4 or more against 1.

Lets bring in more blacks! FROM Africa! American Blacks are all hate filled, told the White man is the enemy and should be killed. In Africa—they know better.

I like that idea.

I don’t read about people with Downs Syndrome causing problems. Culture in the black community and the lack of fathers plays a major part in crime.

Mandatory sterilization by removal of gonads. violent genes, bad parenting and slack jawed stupidity stops.

If they live in Parkland, they are NOT poor.

One of my best friends is from Africa. He was fired from leading an organization in the black part of town because he was hard working, held his staff accountable, and believe in personal responsibility and capacity development.

Cruz wasn’t a student at MSD when he shot it up, he snuck in. I run a lacrosse website and wrote a lengthy article on that facet of the shootings. I knew a lot of the people involved in all this. Andrew and Sheriff Israel were both involved in lacrosse. These punks are not representative of the school, which is very white and a lot of Jewish kids too. Parkland was always considered a very safe city.

Thanks for posting this video. It actually show the features of the victim well enough to establish that he’s white; thus, it looks like this was a racist hate crime.

The reason you don't read about people with Down Syndrome causing disproportionate amounts of crime is that there is an IQ "sweet spot" for criminality. Between about 70 and 90 is the prime range for criminal behavior. Below 70 and the individual doesn't have the capacity to formulate criminal activity and an IQ above 90 yields the individual intelligent enough to participate in a civilized society. A recent study determined that even a populace with an average IQ of 90 can not maintain a civilization beyond what is essentially tribal living. You can give each black child with an IQ of 83 twenty fathers and it won't change a think. Refusing to accept the truth is why we are in the situation we are.

There is no wonderful diversity where I live and it is very safe and quiet.

Sounds like a great idea. Let’s import low IQ Africans but let’s do it after they are done throwing a rock into a tree trying to knock down their dinner.

Cruz wasn’t a student at MSD when he shot it up, he snuck in.

Wasn’t he still known to the school resource officer? Isn’t this the shooting where the perp approached the school with a duffel bag, and the resource officer recognized him?

“I watched that video. I counted 5.”

You must also read.

From the article: “Jahmeer Beautziel, 17, has not yet been arrested.” Four have been arrested and photographed at the time the article was published.

The victim had been chased by a group of around 15 before being assaulted. The 5 perps were black. Those who helped the victim after were white, as far as I could tell.
