If that was my daughter getting her hair pulled by a coach, they’d just have to call 911 because he would need an ambulance.
Daily Mail reports a swimming coach has resigned after he was allegedly caught on camera pulling a schoolgirl from the pool by her hair after she did not swim fast enough.
The shocking footage appears to show the assistant coach at Roseville High School, California, reach down into the water and grab the 17-year-old girl’s hair after her team finished fifth out of six in a competition.
Coach Geoff Capell was reportedly unhappy that the captain of the varsity team Jennifer McCarroll and another girl were not giving the race their best effort.
The video has caused outrage after it was posted online and Placer County police are investigating the alleged assault.
The girl’s mother Tiffany McCarroll told MailOnline that she has filed a complaint with police.
Can you believe the nerve of this guy?
