According to court documents, officials accused 17-year-old Carter Prenosil of knocking out his opponent after the Carlisle vs. Nevada hoops game on Tuesday night in Iowa.
In a video of the altercation, you can see the attack was violent — with the alleged victim appearing to be KO’ed on his feet.
According to the docs, the player suffered a concussion and a cut to his mouth that required four stitches.
Cops — who were in attendance at the arena — say they launched an investigation … and ultimately arrested Prenosil on Wednesday. He was later charged with felony willful injury — causing serious injury.
Prenosil is facing up to 10 years in prison if convicted on the charge. He’s due in court for a hearing on the matter on Dec. 13.
