The high school track runner who was punched by another athlete mid-race wants to press charges ... and he could even end up filing a lawsuit, TMZ Sports has learned.
As we previously reported, the Osceola County Sheriff's Office claimed neither side wanted to move forward with pressing charges after the incident.
But, the Florida Firm's Nathan Carter, attorney for the punched runner, says that's not the case.
"The family has read reports that the OCSD claims [my client] refused to press charges," Carter said in a statement.
