Surveillance video of a recent assault on a woman in Federal Hill is just one example of an ongoing problem with large groups of students from Digital Harbor High School causing trouble in the neighborhood after school, residents said. Download the WBAL app.One of the latest incident occurred April 4 when a woman suffered a black eye in an attack. Residents said the students have been causing problems for nearly two years. Residents said the attack in the woman came after dozens of students converged on their block and started fighting after school. Surveillance video shows one of the girls throw an umbrella at the woman who came outside to investigate the disturbance. The woman is then kicked in the stomach by the student, the video shows. “It hit (the woman) so hard the umbrella broke in half,” one resident said. “It hit her right in the eye socket.” The video of the attack was taken from a camera posted outside of a house on Grindall Street, which is not far from Digital Harbor in Federal Hill. The owner of the camera does not want to be identified, but explained that he bought the surveillance system because of what he and many of his neighbors describe as constant acts of violence and vandalism by students after the school day. A video from February shows students throwing rocks down the street at cars and other students fighting with each other. “Three o’clock comes and it's crazy here,” resident Stephen Varitikias said. “The cops have actually told us stay in our house during that time.” Police said the girl with the umbrella was identified and arrested. The girl, who is 15, was charged as a juvenile. The spokesperson for Baltimore City Schools didn't mention the case specifically. but issued a statement on the issue. “School administrators have identified the students involved in these incidents, and they will experience the appropriate disciplinary consequences,” school spokeswoman Edie House Foster said. The school system said there will be increased police patrols around Digital Harbor after spring break. “I spoke with district commander today and we have increased patrols in that area,” Baltimore police spokesman Detective Jeremy Silbert said. Neighbors said they have reached out to the school and shared videos numerous times with school officials. “Nothing seems to get done, so we feel like our hands are tied and I don't really think it is fair,” Varitikias said. I don't think we should be living like this, in fear.” In addition to increasing school and city police patrols, school officials said they plan to engage community members to work with the school, students and parents to address the issues.School district officials released a statement, saying:"While the majority of students at Digital Harbor High School continue to demonstrate behaviors that reflect the school community’s values and honor its vision, unfortunately, a small group of students has engaged in unacceptable and disruptive actions in the community. School administrators have identified the students involved in these incidents, and they will experience the appropriate disciplinary consequences based on the Baltimore City Public Schools Code of Conduct."Following spring break, we will be increasing school police patrols in the neighborhood at dismissal time, and we have requested additional support from the Baltimore Police Southern District. At the same time, the school will be engaging community members to work with school administrators, students, and parents to address this issue. And finally, teachers and administrators will meet with students to discuss these events and review expectations."
