Horrifying CCTV shows moment Maryland dad is body slammed to the ground outside ... trends now
Horrifying CCTV footage has captured the moment a Maryland father was body slammed to the ground and repeatedly punched in the head - causing a fatal brain injury - as his 12-year-old son watched on helplessly.
Christopher Wright, 43, was viciously beaten to death on his doorstep by five bullies after being dragged into a fight involving his son Trenton, 14, that started at Brooklyn Park Middle School before moving to his house in Baltimore, Maryland.
Trenton had been in multiple fights over the course of the week, one of which was over $30 another boy said he had stolen from his girlfriend.
Now, footage obtained by DailyMail.com shows the group approaching Wright's home to initiate a fight before knocking the dad to the ground after he threw the first punch.
The attackers - comprising of three teenagers and two adults - then continued to punch Wright, who was already unconscious and bleeding out, before fleeing the scene.

In the clip, the attackers are met with the dad in a standoff - as Wright, wearing a white T-shirt, is seen speaking and pointing to his left during the interaction on his property.
Wright exchanges words with the group on his front lawn - before throwing a punch at a man in a black t-shirt.
The dad then retreats back, heading towards his home, as the swarm of attackers push forward and begin beating him up.
Seconds later, the man in the black T-shirt slams Wright to the ground in between two vehicles and launches a tirade of punches at his head as he lays motionless on the road.
Meanwhile, another fight breaks out on the sidewalk but it remains unclear who these individuals are.
It is only when another person checks on Wright - who is still lying unconscious on the tarmac - that the group realize he is not moving.
They can then be seen scattering, as someone screams out in the background and another repeatedly shouts: 'What the f**k.'
Two more people in the group go to check on Wright again, seemingly examining his head, before the rest walk back to their vehicle and flee the scene.
The attackers told his 12-year-old son who watched the ordeal: 'I'm sorry, call 911,' DailyMail.com previously revealed.
Photos revealed that remnants of Wright's blood still stained the ground outside the family's home.

Christopher's fiancée Tracy Karopchinsky, 44, said that he told the group their son would not be fighting, to which they are said to have replied: 'If he's not going to fight, then you're going to fight us.'
Wright was then horrifically beaten by the group and had his head repeatedly slammed against the concrete outside his home as his 12-year-old son watched.
Wright's son Trenton had been in multiple fights at school before the group tried to approach him at home. He was suspended from school on Monday following a separate fight.
One of the fights, which occurred on Wednesday, was over $30. A kid, who was not related to the fatal attack, is said to have come up to Trenton at school and said: 'I stole $30 from your girlfriend.'
The 14-year-old boy then tried to get the $30 back, and hit the teenager.
Karopchinsky said: ‘He had the money in his hands. Trenton went to get the money and in reaction, hit the kid. He hit him once and that was the end of it.’
On Friday, when he went back to school, he was being harassed by a group of teens, who were some of those who turned up on his doorstep.
Fiancée Karopchinsky told DailyMail.com that the attackers continued
