A brawl at an elite Beverly Hills school was captured on video, showing a group of students swarming a teen, dragging him across the floor and pummeling him as staff tried to intervene.

The shocking footage, obtained by the California Post, shows dozens of students gathering around the chaotic lunchtime melee at Beverly Hills High School on March 12.

The 16-year-old victim, represented by his mother in a newly filed lawsuit, can be seen wearing light-colored clothing as multiple students pile on top of him, knocking over chairs and crashing into cafeteria furniture.

At one point, what appear to be two staff members push their way into the scrum, repeatedly shouting, “Cut it out! Stop!”

“Yo, chill, chill, chill!” one onlooker yells, while another appears to laugh and shout, “He folded his a–! Damn!”

A second, closer video shows the high schooler pinned on his back as several students and school employees struggle to pull the attackers away.

“Let go!” someone yells, as another student grabs one of the alleged aggressors around the waist in an apparent attempt to drag him off the victim.

The teenager eventually scrambles onto his hands and knees before getting back up. “Bro, he got surgery, bro,” one student can be heard warning as the crowd begins to disperse.

The disturbing footage is now at the center of a lawsuit against the Beverly Hills Unified School District, with the teenager’s family accusing school officials of failing to protect him during the attack — and then punishing him for allegedly defending himself.

In a complaint filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court, the plaintiff alleges multiple students attacked him, including one who head-butted and punched him before others joined in, striking him while he was on the floor.

His attorney, Michelle Seañez, told The Post the teen reported being confronted by six students, some of whom allegedly made threatening remarks including, “I’m going to shoot you,” “We control this,” and “Who do you think you are?”

Another alleged threat was: “What would you do if I headbutted you right now?”

The family maintains that their son did not start the fight and only used force to protect himself, according to the complaint.

The allegations are particularly troubling because the teenager was recovering from emergency surgery at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center following an injury sustained during a school soccer game.

He underwent surgery on Jan. 24 and was hospitalized afterward, according to the lawsuit. His mother notified school personnel about his condition and submitted a hospital letter documenting postoperative restrictions, the complaint states.

His attorney said the teenager was under a five-month restriction from contact sports when the cafeteria attack happened.

The video appears to capture the severity of the confrontation, with one student specifically reminding others that the teenager had recently undergone surgery.

School staff had been made aware of the escalating confrontation but failed to intervene quickly enough to prevent the beating, according to the lawsuit.

One employee assigned to lunch duty allegedly instructed the students to stop but left the cafeteria to seek help after they ignored the warning.

“When that employee returned, students were on top of Plaintiff and beating him,” the complaint states.

A second employee, who was on the school’s third-floor patio, was alerted to the fight by a teacher and ran downstairs to intervene, according to the filing.

But the alleged beating continued even as staff attempted to separate the students.

“While that employee attempted to separate them, additional students continued punching and kicking Plaintiff,” the complaint alleges.

The teenager was eventually escorted to the school office and taken for emergency medical evaluation at Cedars-Sinai, where he was diagnosed with a closed head injury, according to the lawsuit.

But rather than clearing his name, the school allegedly handed him a suspension. The Post has reached out to Beverly Hills Unified School District as well as the school for comment.

The district initially imposed a five-day suspension for allegedly “willfully using force or violence,” according to the complaint.

The mother challenged the punishment, arguing that he had acted in self-defense.

On March 24, school official Dr. Ilin Magran confirmed that the suspension had been reduced to four days.

But the district refused to completely remove the disciplinary finding from his record, according to the filing.

His mother said she has repeatedly sought answers about how the school handled the incident and why her son was disciplined.

“A school has a responsibility to protect students, investigate violence fairly, and ensure that a student who may have been defending himself is not unfairly punished,” she told The Post.

“No parent should have to fight this hard to get answers about their child’s safety at school.”

She argued that the district had focused on disciplining her son rather than addressing the circumstances surrounding the attack.

“This is not simply a story about two students fighting. It raises questions about school supervision, intervention, student safety, and how a school district handles a student who has been involved in a serious incident,” she said.

The family wants the district to explain how it investigated the incident, who made the disciplinary decisions and whether all students involved were treated equally, according to the attorney.

The complaint states that Beverly Hills High School Principal Loan Sriruksa confirmed on March 16 that the district had investigated the brawl and preserved security footage, along with staff and student incident reports.

The family subsequently filed a government claim against the district on July 15, which was rejected on July 28, according to the lawsuit.

The November lawsuit names the Beverly Hills Unified School District and 75 unnamed defendants — including 50 school employees and 25 individual students accused of taking part in the beating.

The district and its employees — identified as Does 1 through 50 — are accused of negligence for allegedly failing to properly supervise students, prevent the confrontation from escalating and intervene quickly enough to protect the recovering teen.

The 25 student defendants, identified as Does 51 through 75, are separately accused of assault and battery for allegedly head-butting, punching and kicking the teenager, including while he was on the floor.

The complaint makes clear that this group refers only to students who allegedly attacked him — not those who merely watched or tried to break up the fight.

The family is also seeking punitive damages against the alleged student attackers, accusing them of acting with malice and deliberately disregarding the teenager’s safety. Those damages are not being sought against the school district or its employees.

The family is seeking more than $35,000 in damages, including compensation for physical injuries, emotional distress and medical expenses.
