LEXINGTON, Ky. - A young Lexington man is scheduled for arraignment after police said he video recorded a younger teen beating up and robbing a youth.

WLEX-TV reported police got onto the crime when they were called to the victim's home in time to prevent him from hanging himself. Court documents state the youth was despondent and feared being further bullied by the minor and 18-year-old Antoine Deonte Young.

Police said the incident occurred near Tate's Creek High School last month. The attacker inflicted minor injuries upon the victim and took his shoes and backpack.

Investigators said Young recorded the attack. He was arrested Friday and charged with robbery.
