Father Outraged After Son Attacked by Group of Girls at Overhills High School in Harnett County

Overhills High School student attacked

A disturbing incident at Overhills High School in Harnett County, North Carolina, has sparked outrage after a student was attacked by a group of girls while in a classroom. The victim’s father, Marcus Walker, shared the shocking video and his frustrations in a now-viral Facebook post.

According to Walker, the incident took place earlier this week and involved at least five girls assaulting his son while he tried to defend himself without retaliating. The video, which has been shared across social media, shows Walker’s son being jumped by multiple female students, with one girl in pink pants hitting him with a phone.

“NOT ONCE DID HE THROW A PUNCH BUT SHOVED THEM AWAY,” Walker wrote. “IF HE HAD, IT WOULD HAVE JUST CONFIRMED THE STEREOTYPE OF A BLACK MAN BEING AGGRESSIVE, RESULTING IN HIM BEING LOCKED UP AND LABELED.”

Walker says after the incident, his son was pulled into a conference room by the principal to give a statement, while the students who attacked him were allegedly allowed to roam the halls freely.

“THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE,” Walker continued. “I AM READY TO FIGHT FOR MY SON’S DIGNITY AND SAFETY. I REFUSE TO ALLOW THIS BEHAVIOR TO GO UNNOTICED.”

Walker added that his son, who is an athlete and trains hard daily, does not resort to violence and was trying to get away.

In the comments under his post, Walker shared a photo of his son’s injuries, which included a swollen eye and visible scratches from the attack.

Another girl was seen in the video grabbing a computer in an apparent attempt to strike the boy, but did not follow through. A teacher in the classroom appeared to be on the phone, possibly calling for assistance during the incident.
