Disturbing video showed the horrific moment a gang of vicious bullies beat a teenage boy until he suffered a seizure.
The dramatic incident took place Tuesday around 6pm at an apartment complex in South Memphis, Tennessee.
The brawl reportedly started over the unidentified victim’s dog that ‘was trying to bit
somebody,’ Laura Sanders, the grandmother of the victim’s girlfriend, told WREG.
The 18-year-old victim’s pregnant girlfriend said three men were sent to their home by someone else just before they assaulted him and dragged him outside, the Memphis Police Department said.
‘They said the dog was trying to bite somebody. I’m not sure what went on,’ Sanders said.
A graphic video of the terrifying incident has since circulated online, as several people, including adults, crowded around him while other teens repeatedly stomped and kicked him.
The victim, who was seen curled up in a ball throughout the clip, was then dragged and attacked even more until he seized up on the ground.
Police and emergency personnel were then called to the scene before transporting the victim to a hospital.

Sanders said her granddaughter’s boyfriend has had seizures before. He was released from the hospital hours later.
The appalling scene began with several teens kicking the victim while he lay on grass near a fence.
One girl in a green t-shirt, who appeared to be his pregnant girlfriend, stepped in and tried to protect him but she was soon pushed to the side.
While one bully kept kicking him, another punched the victim several times.
The girl in the green shirt then stepped in again and stood over the victim to try and block the suspects, but one of them dramatically pushed her out of the way.
An adult male then appeared to step in and try to talk to one of the fighters, who then aggressively stomped on the victim’s back.
Several people then argued for a few moments, until the savage beating continued on.
One of them then snatched the victim and dragged him off the grass and onto the pavement, where a group of them kept beating him up.
As they did so, the 18-year-old suddenly started to shake uncontrollably as many of the teens fled the scene and adults stepped in to help him.

The man recording also appeared to laugh while the boy continued to seize.
‘My fault – beating y’all n**** into a seizure,’ the man said as people tried to assist the injured teen.
Several police officers soon arrived at the scene and took over care for the teen.
Hours prior to the savage attack, officers were called to the complex multiple times about the feud, according to a police report obtained by WREG.
Although Sanders wished she could have prevented the violence, she told the outlet: ‘I can’t stop it. I’m 63, and my leg is bad, and there is nothing I can do about it.’
The police have seen the now-viral video of the attack and are actively investigating it.
They have not yet identified the attackers. DailyMail.com contacted the Memphis Police Department for comment.
