A Manhattan high school failed to act when a student was bullied with a taser and eventually beaten up, a lawsuit alleges.
A Manhattan high schooler was bullied and beaten up by two other students – including one brandishing a taser – and the administration failed to act despite being aware of prior threats, a new lawsuit alleges.
The teen says a 9th grader at the school — identified in court papers as ZNL — threatened her with a taser for the first time on March 3 after the pair bumped into each other in the hallway. Then, on May 26, Brown claims the same student threatened her again while she was sitting in class, “saying how she is going to beat me up, she is going to F me up, she is going to punch me, and there was nothing I could do about it,” she recalled.
The teen says ZNL followed her as she headed to a subway station where she was set to meet her grandmother and again waved around the taser, threatening to use it before Brown’s pal cut in and said “I’m not going to let you tase my friend.”
