According to police reports, 17-year-old Austin Metcalf told Anthony, who was also 17 at the time, that he needed to move out from under their team’s tent.

Anthony allegedly then grabbed his bag, reached inside and told Metcalf: “Touch me and see what happens.”

A police report states Metcalf grabbed Anthony to tell him to move. Anthony then allegedly pulled out a knife, stabbing Metcalf once in the chest before running.

Video footage of track meet stabbing emerges

obtained video recorded from the press box across the field from where the attack occurred. Anthony was wearing a grey hoodie, and there was no obvious physical altercation leading up to the stabbing.
