Paperwork states the couple followed Watkins from school and then attacked her near the West End Bridge-throwing a brick at her and then dragging her out of her car and beating on her.

She had to be taken to Allegheny General Hospital twice for treatment, including a lost tooth, busted up lip and head pain.

Police said Watkins told them Beasley "pulled her head back by yanking her hair."

"The male did then join in on the attack, using kicks and punches to the body and face of Ms. Watkins," according to the criminal complaint.

Watkins told police he eventually pulled them apart. His attorney says he was only there to stop the brawl.

"My client doesn't assault the teacher. I believe he pulls them apart to stop them from a fight," Al Burke, the attorney for Vincent Beasley, said.

The complaint goes on to say Williams told Watkins "B****, I told you I was gonna get you."

Williams is facing aggravated assault, stalking, terroristic threats and reckless endangerment charges.
