45-Year-Old Man Beaten Up By High Schoolers After Allegedly Attacking Them During ICE Walkout [View all]

A 45-year-old man has been charged with two counts of assault after getting into a fistfight with a group of Texas teenagers who were protesting Immigration Customs and Enforcement.

On Monday, as the group of high schoolers carried signs and walked out of school in Buda to protest ICE, a man in his truck began arguing with them, in an incident that devolved into a physical brawl, based on video from a bystander.

The video of the altercation shows the man, identified by police as Chad Michael Watts of Kyle, Texas, with his arm raised over a girl on the ground as other teenagers run to pull him off of her. The group of high schoolers tackle and hit Watts as he fights back, before retreating to his truck.

A “difference of opinion on the immigration issue” led to the initial argument, Buda Police officer Matt Schima told CBS Austin.
