A violent altercation at a secondary school canteen has put a 13-year-old boy in a coma. Now, his distressed mother has shared pictures of her son fighting for his life in the hospital.

On Friday afternoon, teenager Oliver Whitehead had to be airlifted to Leeds General Hospital during an emergency at his school in East Riding, Yorkshire. According to multiple reports, young Oliver had to be resuscitated by doctors after his heart stopped twice from the severe injuries he sustained. When the situation went out of hand, hospital authorities were forced to put him in an induced coma.

After the incident, law enforcement authorities arrested two schoolboys who were later bailed out. It is still unclear as to what exactly transpired between them and Oliver.
