A Cincinnati teen may end up charged as an adult after allegedly issuing a severe beating to a woman last month.

The 15-year-old can be seen on newly-released police bodycam footage punching a 60-year-old special education teacher repeatedly in the head while taking an unknown drug and vaping in a school bathroom.

The woman was beaten unconscious in the incident.

When interviewed by police, the teen said, “I think I’m in a dream. Am I in a dream?”

The victim of the beating had head injuries so severe that surgeons had to remove her skull cap to relieve the pressure on her brain.

Ohio prosecutors have pushed for the teen to be charged as an adult due to the severity of the woman’s injuries. That matter will be decided by a Cincinnati judge.
