HOUSTON – Authorities are investigating a fight video that went viral on Twitter on Sunday night.
Cellphone video shows two girls viciously fighting as several bystanders watch, encourage the fight, and record it on their cellphones.
Two teenagers, who appear in the video, told KPRC 2 they found out on Twitter that a fight was planned in the parking lot of an elementary school in Humble.
They said they decided to show up with their friends and watch the fight.
Humble ISD released the following statement on Monday regarding witness claims that the fight occurred at a school:
"This happened in the Woodland Pines subdivision, not on a campus. It is unclear if those involved are students, but school district police and administrators will be viewing the video to assist investigators in identifying those involved. All information will be turned over to the Harris County Sheriff's Department, which has jurisdiction over this area."
On Wednesday, the district issued an additional statement on the incident: "Humble ISD Police are investigating the fight that was filmed and posted to social media. It has been determined that the fight occurred at the exit of the parking lot at River Pines Elementary School. The incident did not occur during school hours. At this time, no one in the video has been positively identified. "
The two girls in the video punch each other repeatedly until one stomps on the other's face, slamming her head into the concrete. The girl on the ground appears to have trouble getting back up.
A second video posted to Twitter shows one of the girls fighting a different girl from the same crowd.
HPD told KPRC 2 they found out about the incident after they were tagged in a post about the incident on Twitter.
Police encourage anybody with information about the fight or the girls involved to come forward. Humble ISD is asking anyone with information to call district police at 281-641-7900.
