http://www.nydailynews.com/news/nat...aulting-high-school-student-article-1.3509507Prosecutors in Missouri charged a father and daughter on Wednesday with the assault of a high school student that left the victim in critical condition.
Josiah Wright, 39, faces a first-degree assault charge. His daughter, Jonay Wright, 17, faces a second-degree assault charge. The charges stem from an attack on Tuesday where the pair allegedly assaulted the girl’s ex-boyfriend inside Ruskin High School in Kansas City.
They two noticed Jonay’s ex-boyfriend seated in the room, the prosecutor said in a news release. They exited, but she claims to have received a threatening text message from the victim causing them to re-enter and confront him.
A witness told police they entered the room and heard Wright say, “You threatened to kill my daughter, I’ll f--k you up,” before the father stomped twice on the victim’s head.
Witnesses told police that the father stomped the victim’s head while the daughter kicked him, according to a press release from the Jackson County Prosecutor’s Office.
Josiah Wright allegedly admitted to police that he pulled the victim off his chair so that his daughter could assault him. He also said he held people back who attempted to intervene so that his daughter could continue to fight, but denied kicking the victim himself.
Officers observed that the victim had “severe abrasions to his right eye, swelling and bruising to his entire head and bleeding from his left ear” when they arrived at the scene. He was taken to an area hospital in critical condition with possible brain bleeding or swelling. Court documents state he was intubated and unable to provide a statement to police.
