Video Of Concord High School Students Fighting Posted Online

CONCORD, NH — A video of a fight between two Concord High School students that occurred on South Fruit Street on May 14, 2019, has been posted on Snapchat and Facebook. About 24 hours after the incident occurred, there were rumors that students at the school where sharing the video. Yesterday, a reader posted a copy of the 30-second video on the Concord NH Patch Facebook site, linked here.

The video shows two young men who appear to be taunting each other on the lawn of one of the homes not far from Memorial Field. The video – which appears to be edited and choppy in places – eventually shows the two boys squaring off on the sidewalk. One boy, in a orange-yellow shirt, kicks another boy, who was wearing a dark sweatshirt. The boy in the sweatshirt then swings at the boy in the T-shirt a number of times while the boy in the T-shirt charges him. The boys end up back in the driveway of the home, wrestling on the ground while a number of students look on.

Toward the end of the video, a third boy, who was carrying sports gear in a bag earlier in the video, drops the bag and rushes to the boys wrestling. The boy in the sweatshirt can be seen brandishing an item that gets swatted from his hand. The third boy grabs the item from the ground and walks back to the two boys. At that point, the video ends.

The incident occurred about 10 minutes after classes were dismissed at Concord High School, according to Tom Sica, the school’s principal.

Concord police and fire and rescue teams were called to the scene were called to the scene to investigate and one student was transported to the hospital.

On Wednesday, police stated that the students had been identified.

Limited information is available about the case because it involves juveniles, according to Sgt. Matthew Casey of the criminal investigation unit of the Concord Police Department.

“This case remains under investigation,” he stated in an email.
