A pack of teens stormed onto a Georgia school bus and attacked several elementary students on board — including one who needed to be hospitalized, according to a new report.
The four assailants — an 18-year-old non-student, a high school student and two middle school students — boarded the bus Monday morning when it made a stop only about a mile from Snapfinger Elementary School in Decatur, WSB-TV 2 reported.
Several students were attacked, and one was taken to Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta hospital, school officials told the station.
The school informed parents about the incident through a voicemail that afternoon, the station reported.
“During the morning ride to school, a group of middle and high school students boarded the bus to assault an elementary school student,” the voicemail said.
The DeKalb County School District Police obtained warrants for the 18-year-old and the high school student, school officials said in a statement obtained by the outlet. Both middle schoolers were arrested and taken to Juvenile Intake.

Parents were shocked to hear about the incident.
“This is ridiculous,” Latrice Lewis told the station. “This is why I don’t have my kids on the bus, I drive them to school. And I drive them back home.”
“That is outrageous,” added parent Alexis Clarke. “I think that’s really bad and, if they did beat up some elementary school students, they definitely deserve to go to jail.”
