NORTH LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) A 16-year-old boy turned himself in to sheriff’s deputies Monday after throwing a 68-year-old woman into a pool at a party, WPLG-TV reports.

A Broward Sheriff’s Office report says Nancy James was soaked and bruised when a deputy responded Saturday evening to Players Place apartments in North Lauderdale.

James and another member of the residents association told the deputy that about 200 young people had been in the pool area. James said she was trying to speak with partiers when an unknown male picked her up.

Video later uploaded to social media shows the young man drop James on the concrete pool deck. He then drags her to the edge of the pool and throws her in.

Paramedics examined James at the scene.
