Police Investigating After 13-Year-Old Basketball Player Is Recorded Stomping Opponent’s Head Mid-Game
Police have opened an investigation after a violent attack at a youth basketball game was captured on camera.
In the video, a player, identified as a 13-year-old boy, was seen stomping the head of an opposing boy who had fallen to the ground.
The Sunday game was a match between the Filipino-American youth team Tumakbo United and Payton’s Place in Alameda, California.
The video started with a Tumakbo United player receiving the ball.
A Payton’s Place player then collided with him, grabbing his jersey and bringing them both down. A short scramble for the ball turned into a scuffle between the two downed players.
Another Payton’s Place player was then seen approaching the downed Tumakbo teen from behind.
