A runner competing in a high school track meet in Florida was punched mid-race as he competed in the 1,600m event, TMZ reported.
Witnesses described to the news outlet how they first saw an athlete at the Tohopekaliga Tiger Invitational, being held in Kissimmee, Florida on 28 March, dressed in a black uniform step into the middle of the race track, but they noted how he was not competing in that specific event.
