Police are seeking the identity of a teenager who punched a well-respected CAPA teacher, knocking him out cold.

Grainy surveillance video captured the violent attack on James Addlespurger, 50, a teacher at the high school of Creative & Performing Arts, in Pittsburgh last week.

The video surveillance shows Addlespurger approaching a group of teenagers in an alley. Addlespurger paused to exchange words with one of the teens who lunged at the English teacher and knocked him out with one punch. Addlespurger fell, hitting his head on the curb as the teens celebrate.
