During a Long Island High School graduation, a group of teenagers was captured on video brutally attacking a pregnant young woman.
On Sunday, the class of 2017 graduated from William Floyd High School, but the excitement of the day turned into horror for those who saw and recorded the attack.
At least three people are seen in the video punching and kicking a young woman who is lying on the ground and trying to cover her face. Another young woman is seen running up and kicking the woman on the ground.
The victim, who has since been identified as Bianca Bouchard, has blood streaming from her face, and her clothes are torn and ruined by the time she gets up and tries to get to the safety of her vehicle, all while her attackers continue to come after her.
Bouchard told FiOS1 News that she is 15 weeks pregnant but that none of the blows hit her stomach, only her head. She said that the attack was part of some bad blood between family members that had only been exacerbated over Facebook.
“You can see on the video a girl in a blue dress runs up and kicks me in the head with her heel and that’s what caused all the bleeding,” Bouchard told FiOS1 News. “In the back of my head there’s a scar.”
School officials have said that they will be pressing charges over the attack.
