Middle school student repeatedly punches girl in front of cheering kids in brutal on-camera beatdown

A Florida middle school student has been caught on camera knocking a classmate to the floor before savagely pummeling her in the head in front of hordes of cheering kids.

The violent beatdown unfolded at Sebastian Middle School, just outside Jacksonville, back in February, but footage of the attack only started circulating widely on social media this week.

In the shocking clip, shared on X by Libs of TikTok, the female student was filmed approaching her unsuspecting victim from behind in the school hallway — as a group of students made barking and jeering sounds in the background.

The attacker could be seen abruptly shoving the victim in the back, prompting the girl to try to swing back with a music case she was clutching.

The aggressor then quickly landed a single punch to the girl’s head — knocking her to the floor, the footage shows.

As a crowd of classmates cheered her on, the attacker was filmed taking off her backpack and repeatedly striking the girl in the head and upper body as she cowered on the floor.

The instigator was “disciplined and subsequently removed from the school” immediately after the beatdown, according to a spokesperson for Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.

DeSantis’ rep addressed the school fight after the Libs of TikTok account claimed the school failed to act and was trying “shove this under the rug.”

The account later said the Florida State Board of Education confirmed the student was suspended in the immediate aftermath.

The St. Johns County School District, which oversees the school, didn’t immediately respond to The Post.
