A high school runner was sucker-punched by an another competitor who ran into his lane during the race at a Florida track meet.
Just as the pack was coming down the straight portion of the track in the 1,600-meter race, the attacker made a beeline for the runner from the infield at the Tohopekaliga Tiger Invitational in Kissimmee on Saturday.
The teen, who was dressed in black running shorts and black T-shirt, appeared to come out of nowhere and caught the runner dressed in white-and-red by surprise.
The stunned runner fell to the ground after leading the race.
Before the start of the race, the teen in black who ran onto the tack had been told by the punched runner to move out of the way, according to TMZ.
The teen did not move and on the following lap, which was not caught on video, the runner reportedly pushed the teen in black out of the way, knocking him over after he deliberately got in the way.
It was during the subsequent lap, that the teen in black ran onto the track and punched the other teen - who was leading the race - in the head.
The punch threw the runner off balance and saw him floored in a heap at the side of the track as other runners ran around him to finish the race.
The runner who was hit eventually got up and crossed the finish line.
In the stands, spectators supporting the athletes from 27 schools competing in the invitational were stunned by what they had just witnessed. 'Are you f***ing kidding me?!' one person could be heard saying repeatedly while others simply screamed in horror.
Police were called although it is not known if charges were filed.

Thanks and I figured as much when I read the headline.
Yup. Rudy T.’s injuries were brutal.
Clearly walking the other way doesn’t always work. Not when they target you and chase you down.

White boy had it coming. Who does he think he is? Jesse Owens?
And both Benson and Rudy T. were victims of total cheap shots, just as the runner in this article was.
What is “the runner in black” even doing in school?
I was reading the other day about Cassius Clay Jr. that he was not accepted in to the military because he couldn’t pass the test after multiple tries — his IQ was only 78. That explains a lot.

When I worked in downtown Philadelphia back in the 80s, I carried a one pound ball peen hammer, always in my grasp.
Useless theres nothing left there
Were any charges filed?
I looked and, as always, didn’t need to: Right again.
Derbyshire rules apply.
Life is an IQ test. Hard for many to accept.

K.A Jabbar, yesterday:
“One of the main talking points from those supporting the systemic racism in America is characterizing Blacks as more prone to violence and less able to control their emotions.”
“Memo to Alcindor: that characterization (lack of impulse control) is based on reality, and isn’t a talking point. Ask Kent Benson.”

Well, I for one feel culturally enriched. [cough]
Hey, there Mr. Gum Jabbar - it isn’t racist if it’s true, is it now?
