Saline police say an 11-year-old boy fell unconscious and went into convulsions after he was assaulted by a group of students on a school playground earlier this week.
The victim, a 6th grade student at Heritage Elementary School, was taken to the University of Michigan Medical Center by ambulance after school officials learned he was suffering seizure-like symptoms late Tuesday morning. He was released later that evening.

Bunten said the altercation started shortly after 11 a.m. during lunch hour at the school at 290 E. Woodland Dr. The victim was surrounded by the students on a field and was pushed to the ground by one of them, reports said. They then kicked and punched him on the ground.

Bunten said officers have not yet spoken to all the students involved and do not yet have permission from all of their parents. Some interviews with students and their parents were scheduled for Friday evening.
