(Memphis) Knock out is a violent pastime that does exactly what is says knocks a person out.
A Whitehaven teenager is at home recovering, after being the target of the vicious game.
You could hear the beautiful harmonies and melodies of Whitehaven High students from across the street Friday.
But just Thursday, the high school was the scene of chaotic battleground, not a choir concert.
Outside Whitehaven High was the scene of a violent phenomenon sweeping the country.
Teens walk up to complete strangers and just knock them out. Its all a game to the attackers, called knock out.
Ive heard about it in New York, like upstate, said neighbor Ray McClain.
Police say the knock out game is now here in Memphis.
Two 18-year-olds, Jerrean Eason and Marcus Hopson, along with two teenage boys under 18, are the star players in a case where they are accused of beating a 17-year-old student leaving Whitehaven High Thursday.

Knockout Game: Teens Accused Of Beating Random Student For Fun
An unprovoked attack in Northwest Jacksonville left police unsure if it was another incident of the Knockout Game, according to the Sheriffs Office.
A Knockout Game is where a person attacks an unsuspecting victim in an attempt to render them unconscious with one punch.
Police released video of the Monday attack about 9:30 p.m. that shows a man walk up to a woman and start punching her in the head outside a Quickway Food Mart at 770 N. McDuff Ave.
The 39-year-old victim told police a different man had asked her for money but she said no. She went into the store and was ambushed by the other man as she left. She said she didnt know her attacker and did nothing to provoke him.
He then casually walked away with the other man.
In a separate incident Friday, a 16-year-old was arrested in an apparent Knockout Game that occurred in February at a Merrill Road Hess station. The 6-foot-2, 200-pound teenager attacked a 48-year-old disabled man, according to police.

Possible 'Knockout Game' in Northwest Jacksonville food mart
Sun-Times Media Wire
March 27, 2014 (CHICAGO) -- A sound engineer was riding his bike home in Humboldt Park early Saturday when he noticed two guys emerging from an alley, both crouching low.
"That's when I knew they were coming for me," said the 30-year-old man, who asked not to be named when speaking to the Chicago Sun-Times.
"Next thing I noticed, one of them had a machete," said the man, who was biking in the 2500 block of West Potomac, just west of Western, about 3 a.m. Saturday. "I tried to speed past them, but one of them swung the machete at my back wheel."
His bike came to a stop.
"And then the same guy punched me in the face."
An accomplice stood by and laughed while recording the attack on his camera phone.
"That's when I thought, 'Oh, well this guy's giggling, this is a joke to them. At least I'm not going to get murdered,' " said the man, who stood over his bike during the assault which lasted a little over a minute.
"Then the guy hit my back tire with the machete three or four more times and told me to 'Get the f - - - out of here.' . . . I sped away."
The men looked to be about 20 years old, the man said.
