<\/p>\nA screengrab from the video shows a group of students talking just before the incident happened.\u00a0<\/span>Photo:\u00a0Supplied to RNZ<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Sean’s brother said the family took his brother to Three Kings Accident & Medical Clinic to get seen by a doctor.<\/p>\n “We had to carry him. The school didn’t call the police, didn’t call the ambulance. They said they had no idea what happened.”<\/p>\n After he was seen by a doctor in the emergency clinic, Sean went back home with his family.<\/p>\n “We took him home and he was resting and taking his medicine, but started to get worse,” his brother said.<\/p>\n He said the family then decided to contact the police about the incident.<\/p>\n “I believe the school talked to them [the police]; because when I called, they said they knew about the incident.”<\/p>\n “They [the police] said they were working on it, but for now they just needed us to take my brother to the hospital.”<\/p>\n Sean was then transferred to Auckland City Hospital in an ambulance and spent the night under observation.<\/p>\n “My and my family spent the night at the hospital with him,” the brother said.<\/p>\n “He was really tired, really cold, really stressed. He got hit in both sides of the head and twisted his legs. He is traumatised.”<\/p>\n Sean’s family is originally from Syria and arrived in New Zealand four years ago.<\/p>\n Sean’s brother said last year, after a fight with other students, one of his other siblings who used to attend Mount Roskill Grammar school got expelled.<\/p>\n Since then, he and his brother had been feeling alone at school, but he had never mentioned any problems with other students.<\/p>\n “[Sean] and my other brother used to hang out a lot, but since they kicked my brother out [of Mount Roskill Grammar School], Sean has been feeling lonely.”<\/p>\n “My brother is a peaceful guy, and that other kid came out of nowhere. [Sean] doesn’t even know who is that other kid,” he said.<\/p>\n “We have no idea why, [Sean] has no idea why [he got assaulted].”<\/p>\n He said his family is concerned for Sean’s wellbeing at school.<\/p>\n “My parents are really sad about it. My mum was crying yesterday the whole day and my dad, he is old, it was really hard to tell him.<\/p>\n “All of us are really uncomfortable with this. We saw him on the floor, he couldn’t talk, his eyes weren’t fully open. It was cruel.”<\/p>\n He said the family has not heard from the school about the incident since they were called when it happened.<\/p>\n They had not called to check on his condition, the brother said.<\/p>\n “The school didn’t give us any support. We haven’t heard from them since my brother was punched.<\/p>\n “They should have been the ones calling the ambulance, not us. My brother was under their responsibility.”<\/p>\n He said the person who hit his brother “for no reason” needed to be punished.<\/p>\n “He doesn’t know him; he came out of nowhere. He should either be kicked out or dealt with.<\/p>\n “[Sean] is scared. He is not talking to anyone at the moment, he doesn’t want to talk. Who knows if he will actually be able to go back to school.”<\/p>\n RNZ put the allegations from the student’s family to Mount Roskill Grammar School’s board chair Marjet Pot.<\/p>\n Over the phone, Pot said the school had no comment about the incident.<\/p>\n Through a statement, police confirmed it received a report of an assault on Friday afternoon and were making inquiries.<\/p>\n *Student’s name was changed to protect privacy<\/i><\/p>\n <\/p>\n SOURCE RNZ<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A 16-year-old student got knocked out by another teenager at an Auckland school on Friday afternoon.
