“The suspect kicked the victim approximately seven times in the upper torso and in the head. Witnesses described him as also stomping on the victim’s head during that incident.”

A statement from the sheriff's department said officers had responded to reports of an assault with a deadly weapon and found a "white male adult suffering trauma to his upper torso".

“If you look at the ground, whoa...,” he said, stopping short as a white object slammed into his torso.

He edged back into the contest with a right hook in the fifth as Ball - hampered by his nose, with his torso and shorts reddened - showed signs of slowing down.

A report from a doctor in neurosurgery said they “could envision a scenario where the child was grabbed by its torso and slammed down…with a serious degree of force”.
