A teenage girl has been apprehended following the emergence of a video depicting her forcefully slamming another girl’s head into the ground during a violent altercation. Prosecutors are considering trying her as an adult.
The distressing footage captures two teens engaged in a fierce brawl near Hazelwood High School in Missouri last Friday.
In the video, one girl gains dominance over the other, grabbing her head and repeatedly slamming it into the sidewalk. The victim seems to lose consciousness almost instantly, and additional students continue to scuffle, with indications that the girl on the ground may be experiencing a seizure.

The girl who had her head slammed is reportedly in critical condition in the hospital. Law enforcement has arrested the alleged assailant on a first-degree felony charge, and the case is under the jurisdiction of the St. Louis County court system.
While the District Attorney’s Office currently has not prioritized the case due to the perpetrator’s minor status, the St. Louis County Courts’ 21st Judicial Circuit representative indicates that a hearing in a couple of weeks will determine whether she can be tried as an adult. This decision may occur later this month, depending on various factors, including the victim’s condition.
The Hazelwood School District acknowledges bullying and fighting as significant community issues requiring immediate attention.
They express their condolences to all parties involved and offer additional emotional support through their support and crisis team. There is no update on the condition of the girl in the hospital at this time.
