The incident began when the three dog walkers shouted at the children, continuing to throw dirt at them.
The male dog walker, sporting sunglasses and a beard, approached the gate not long after.
‘All your kids are throwing f**king dirt and f**king poppers!’ The man shouted at the chaperone.
‘We’ve already had to call 911 on them. Grip her the f**k up before I put my hands on her.’
The male suspect was seen with two other dog-walkers, who were also seen shouting at children
While their chaperone tried her best to control them, the children continued to throw dirt at each other.
The chaperone tried to get the children to stop the argument and return to school before the situation got worse.
“What school do they go?” They’re psychos,’ the other male dog walker had asked.
The male suspect added that the chaperone was an embarrassment for his inability to control the rowdy students.
The 11-year old girl marched towards the suspect, before he brutally attacked her in front her classmates.
‘You fat little bi**h you’re not going to amount to anything in life,’ he had yelled at her before the attack.
He then started to punch her in her face, spraying her water, and even grabbing at her hair in anger.
The girl’s 15-year old male friend was also hurt when he tried to stop the fight.
Other dog walkers and other onlookers were also stunned by the shocking incident.
Peter Ghiorse, a dog walker, stated to ABC that he didn’t know what was going down so he and another man got in the middle and ended it. “I believe he heard the sirens and booked it.”

Rachel, a witness to the incident, stated that he hoped that they would find the man. ‘This man grabbed her by her neck, her chest, then punched her in head. Eleven-year-old black young girl. This is not normal. He’s dangerous.’
