"I stood up, and I’m 6’4", and I guess that was not a good move because I immediately got punched in the back of the head, which sent me forward into the group. They were like, ‘Oh, you're trying to start something with us!’ Then it was like I was literally running through a gauntlet of fists."Manning said the group consisted of more than a dozen boys and girls."They just pounded on me, and I knew I had to get off this car to, like, not die," he explained.
