MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Two girls have been charged after a fight at Houston High School last week that left one girl seriously injured.

According to the Germantown Police Department, on December 12, resource officers responded to Houston High School. Reports state that police had to help school administrators break up an “altercation.”

Video circulating on social media showed two girls fighting in the school’s bathroom. One of the students used a pink metal cup to bash the other student in the head repeatedly. She then shoved her head into the bathroom stall door.

Dozens of students stood around laughing and instigating the fight until an employee came and forced them to leave.

The two students involved have been charged. The case was forwarded to Shelby County Juvenile Court.
