A cell phone video recorded by a Barrington High School student is one piece of evidence that has been used by the Barrington Police Department to arrest and charge five young males with felony assault, after a violent attack that occurred a week ago.  Those arrested range in age from 15 to 18.

Shortly after the end of the school day at Barrington High School, an 18-year-old student was confronted, egged into a fight, and attacked by multiple assailants. The victim sustained serious facial injuries during the attack. The fight occurred just south of the high school, not on school property, but in an area that is town property, near the Barrington Public Works yard.
