A Broward County high school student is facing charges for his role in a fight that occurred on the school’s campus.

It happened on Monday around 9:16 a.m. at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland.

According to the Broward Sheriff’s Office, a fight had previously broken out at the school between four students.

During that fight, deputies said the suspect, Tavaris Walker, “came up to the victim, grabbed him with both hands and then started punching him several times.”

The victim, who according to an arrest report is 17 years old, suffered minor bruising to his face and was taken to Coral Springs Medical Center to be evaluated further.

Walker, 18, is facing one count of battery causing bodily harm.

He went before a Broward County judge on Tuesday morning and was granted a $1,000 bond.

Walker was no longer listed among Broward County inmates as of Tuesday evening.
