The girlfriend immediately reacted with hostility, asking Kayla, “Do we have a problem?” Kayla calmly explained that she simply wanted an apology for being stepped on. Within seconds, the situation escalated into terrifying violence.
According to police reports, the boyfriend suddenly lunged forward, grabbing Kayla by the neck and choking her while threatening to kill her. What should have been a minor misunderstanding turned into a near-fatal assault. Witnesses described the attack as fast, aggressive, and completely unprovoked after such a harmless request.
Kayla immediately reported the attack to campus authorities and local police. After reviewing surveillance and witness statements, investigators confirmed that the couple involved were seniors at Clark Atlanta University. Both individuals have been arrested and charged with attempted murder. The court has also ordered them to pay $5,000 in emotional damages to Kayla Bryant as part of the ongoing legal process.
This case has sparked widespread outrage, with many students expressing shock at how a simple request for courtesy spiraled into a violent assault. The community continues to rally behind Kayla as the investigation moves forward.
