The fight between the two 14-year-olds happened just before 1 p.m. Thursday at Armwood High School in Seffner. School administrators broke it up after hearing the victim scream.

The teen accused in the beating told investigators she was angry because the victim's cousins had followed her around campus.

The suspect was expelled from school and charged with battery and false imprisonment, according to law enforcement.

The student who allegedly recorded the incident faces disciplinary action "in accordance to school guidelines," officials said.
