The teen wanted for body-slamming a 68-year-old woman and then dragging her into a pool in a shocking viral video has turned himself into police.

Leon Balfour, 16, turned himself into police Monday evening, saying 'I messed up and I have to own up to it.'

He was charged with one count of battery on a person 65 years of age or older. Video shows him arriving at the Broward County juvenile detention center Monday night. He is set to make his first court appearance sometime Tuesday.

'I’m very happened that they caught the person,' victim Nancy James told CBS Miami.

The teen wanted for throwing a 68-year-old woman into a pool at a ruckus pool party this weekend in North Lauderdale, Florida has turned himself into police. Sixteen-year-old Leon Balfour is pictured above arriving at juvenile hall Monday night

Witness video shows the moment James stopped by a ruckus pool party in her townhouse complex Saturday evening to ask the teens to turn down the music.

Several neighbors had called police to complain about the music, but sheriff's deputies were slow to arrive. So James, who is the director of the board for the townhomes, decided to stop by to ask the teens to turn down the music herself.

'We were just asking them, "lower the volume,"' James told WSVN. 'I didn't care what they were doing. It's not my job to police the place.'

Victim Nancy James said she's happy the person responsible is facing up to his actions

Some of the partygoers then started to yell 'Throw her in!' and Balfour complied.

Balfour lifted James up and then body-slammed her to the ground, while she was still holding on to the leashes of her two dogs.

It's unclear if Balfour meant to body-slam James or if he slipped. Either way, it didn't stop him from continuing the attack. Once he got up, he dragged the woman into the pool with him. Her dogs were luckily able to escape before being pulled into the water.

The video ends with most of the teens fleeing the scene.

A sheriff's deputy who responded to the incident wrote that James was 'very frightened and upset' and was 'drenched in the water from her shoulders down'. She had her cellphone and her key fob in her pocket when she went into the water.

'No one should ever, ever, ever, ever, have to go through that, you know?' James told WPLG. 'It just shouldn't happen. The kid has not evolved yet into what you're supposed to be as a human being.'

When she spoke out to local news outlets following the incident, James sported a large bruise on her shoulder and one on her leg.

James declined to be taken to the hospital at the scene, neighbors told WPLG that she did end up going to the emergency room later. Another friend told WTVJ that James had recently undergone hip surgery.

While most of the 200 or so partygoers fled the scene, James says that a few stayed behind to help her and track down her dogs.

'Thank God, nice kids that live here, they helped me,' she said. 'They went and they found my dog for me. The kids that live here are wonderful kids.'

The Broward Sheriff's Office continues to investigate the incident and is looking to speak to more witnesses.
