A 15-year-old is speaking after he was seen in a video getting attacked on a soccer field in Huntersville.
Channel 9 first reported the incident back in February. The suspect, 50-year-old Amon Hahn, was cited for simple assault.
The victim, Joshua Mejía, said Monday he and his family do not understand how Hahn was only given a ticket for all of this, especially after seeing the video.
Mejía said Hahn attacked him while he was simply playing soccer with his family and friends.

“I was in shock, you know,” Mejía told Channel 9′s Hunter Sáenz.
On Monday, Mejía spoke for the first time with Channel 9 after leaving court with his mother. They were there to face his accused attacker, but the case was pushed back.
“He deserves some type of consequence,” Mejía said.
The alleged assault took place at a soccer pitch in late February at Bradford Park in Huntersville. Mejía said it started when a soccer ball was kicked over a net and hit Hahn’s car.
