PALM BAY, Fla. -- This was no typical after school fight. Palm Bay Police say it's one of the worst beatings they've ever seen. A student repeatedly punched a boy on the bus until he was too tired to hit his victim anymore.

The bus driver immediately radioed for police when the violence began and they hauled that student off to jail. This all happened as the Palm Bay High School students were on their way home from school Thursday afternoon.

Police investigators were shocked when they saw the severity of the violent attack caught on tape. It all starts innocently enough. A student sitting in the back throws a small football or paper wad toward the front of the bus.

"We don't know if there's any background between the two young people," says Lt. Dave Crispin, Palm Bay Police Department.

It apparently angered one student and, about four minutes later, when a student from the back of the bus tries to exit, a swing is thrown at him. The bus driver tries to grab the suspect, but he continues after the student.

"The victim immediately started backing up, which is a clear sign to anybody that's being aggressive that there's no need to continue the attack," explains Lt. Crispin.

But the attack continues. The suspect pummels the student, repeatedly punching him in the face and upper body.

The bus driver calls for help and tries to get the beating to stop. But the suspect doesn't listen.

The suspect ignores the bus driver and continues to pound away. Other students get out of the way and also try to get him to stop. After picking up the student and throwing him on the seat, the attack finally stops, 47 seconds later.

The beating suspect was arrested by police and charged with battery and disruption of an educational institution and he could be expelled.
