High School Coach Is Knocked Out Cold And Sent To The Hospital Trying To Break Up Fight

HARRIS COUNTY, Texas – What was said to have started as a fight in a Physical Education class at Klein Oak High School ended with a coach being rushed to the hospital after being knocked unconscious.

Officials from Klein Independent School District said the student at fault is now in serious trouble.

The incident was caught on cell phone video.

Students told KPRC 2 the coach wasn’t even the target of the attack. Instead, they said he was trying to de-escalate a situation that seemingly turned even more violent.

A group of teens said the coach stepped in front of a student who was being charged at by another one of their classmates.

As the student was running full force towards the group, the coach stepped in and ended up getting knocked on the ground. His head then appeared to have slammed into the concrete ground.

It’s unclear how the coach is doing right now, but students say he was“not good” and that at last check, he was still in the hospital.

As for the student accused in the altercation, additional charges may be pursued as the investigation continues.
