TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) - A Tallahassee man was arrested after security cameras at Tallahassee Community College caught him coming up behind a student and striking him in the head twice with his fists.
Nitravian Letreal Henderson, 26, remained in the Leon County Detention Center on Monday on charges that include battery causing bodily harm and trespass after warning. Booked into jail Saturday, he was held on a $1,750 bond.
In an unprovoked attack, Henderson approached the TCC student from behind and punched him on Jan. 25, 2018, according to a probable cause affidavit. The incident occurred in the TCC English building about 7 p.m. and was captured on campus security cameras and seen by a witness.
When the attack occurred, Henderson had been under a trespass warning issued on Oct. 3, 2017, not to enter the campus, a TCC Police Department investigator wrote.
Henderson, after waiving his right to remain silent, told the TCC investigator in an interview on Jan. 29, 2018, that he committed the battery after feeling threatened by the victim.
Henderson said he entered the TCC building to drink water from the fountain when he was threatened by a male and left the building.
Henderson said he eventually returned to the building and saw another male leaving a classroom and that male also made a comment that caused him to feel threatened.
In response, Henderson said, he came up behind the man and hit him twice in the head, and the victim did not retaliate.
"The video evidence showed the attack from behind without any provocation or warning to the victim," the investigator wrote.
