A disturbing video has surfaced, showing an incident involving several students at Casey County Middle School.

The seven second video shows one boy being held in a choke hold by another student, as several others watch, and another records the altercation on his phone.

School officials issued a statement on their facebook page saying, they are aware of the incident, which took place Friday. It says school administrators took immediate action with the support from a Liberty Police Officer who serves as the School Resource Officer (SRO).   

Parents of the students involved have been made aware of the investigation. No further information can be released due to all parties involved being juveniles.

The statement goes on to say, "CCMS is committed to our core values and school-wide expectations instilling in our students to be respectful, show integrity, have a safe learning environment and excellence in every aspect of being a successful student in our school."

Superintendent Barry Lee added, “The behavior that occurred in the video will not be tolerated.”

The accused attacker has been charged with strangulation and assault and police say the investigation is on-going.
