Teens will be teens, punching friends while someone else films them so the video can be posted to YouTube. Only this time, the puncher was arrested. According to WCBS880, an argument over a video game controller escalated into an incident where 17-year old Ryan Cody beat up a 16-year old boy in the Massapequa Preserve. Cody was arrested for second-degree assault. Nassau County Police Sgt. Anthony Repalone said, "We have a 17-year old who is being charged with a felony assault. You have a 16-year-old victim who had severe injuries to his face, recquiring additional surgery. The fact that they videotaped this and put it on for entertainment is disheartening, to say the least."
