AMBRIDGE, Pa. (AP) — Two junior high school students are facing charges after police say one attacked another western Pennsylvania teen and the second recorded it.

Police say a 14-year-old Ambridge Junior High School student attacked a fellow student last week, knocking him to the ground and repeatedly kicking him in the head. Investigators say a second student recorded the attack, which was then posted on YouTube.

Officials say the victim sustained serious injuries in the attack. The video has since been removed from the site.

Ambridge is about 15 miles northwest of Pittsburgh.
