A member of Baltimore’s Frederick Douglass High School’s football team was charged with attempted murder Thursday in a brutal attack on a teammate. The attack, which left the victim hospitalized and facing surgery, was captured on video and posted online. In it, a student is seen repeatedly punching another in the head and face and then stomping on the bloodied teen’s head. In this week’s assault, Sean Johnson, 17, faces attempted murder, assault and other charges, according to the Baltimore state’s attorneys office. He was charged as an adult and held without bond Thursday. The victim was not identified. Reports say the teenager started having convulsions as he laid in his own blood. Sometimes the word savage gets used incorrectly but that is definitely the way to describe this. source
