Perry Meridian High School student was attacked from behind
INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — New details are emerging about the Sept. 12 attack of a student at Perry Meridian High School .
An attorney for the student tell I-Team 8 that he didn’t even see the punch coming. A gash was left across the student’s forehead. The parents say the injury required stitches.
The attorney called on Perry Township Schools to improve their policies to keep kids in the district safe.
Attorney Tammy Meyer said, “There is just an atmosphere of violence at this school against teachers, against other students. I mean, you guys reported earlier in the year about a substitute teacher that was brutally attacked by a student , and so it’s the whole atmosphere there that has got to change.”
This is one of the worst cases of school violence that the attorneys for the student have seen.
Meyer said, “This was totally unprovoked. He did not know this other kid, didn’t know who he was, and didn’t see him coming because he got clocked from behind.”
