Two Madison La Follette High School students arrested after fight

Two Madison La Follette High School students are facing charges after beating a 15-year-old classmate so badly Thursday afternoon that he will likely need surgery, police said.

Police said the victim told them a group of students was making fun of him before the fight inside the school at 702 Pflaum Road on the city’s Southeast Side, and that school surveillance video of the incident shows the victim and another teen preparing to fight one another and several teens punching or attempting to punch the victim.
