MARTINSBURG, W.Va. (AP) - A male Martinsburg High School student's beating of a female student was videotaped and posted on social media, leading to the arrest of the student.
The Journal reports that the violence occurred in a classroom Monday. A 20-second video of the incident was posted Tuesday on YouTube, but since has been taken down.
In the video, a male student is seen repeatedly punching a female student. Voices can be heard screaming "stop," but no one intervenes.
Martinsburg police and Principal Trent Sherman said the male student was arrested.
Police refused to release additional information because both students are minors.
Sherman said the male student could face expulsion.
