The Hughes-Dillard Alumni Center was to be razed this month as part of an agreement between the alumni association and Baylor. The university wants to use the site for a plaza leading to a pedestrian bridge that will connect the campus to the football stadium under construction on the opposite bank of the Brazos River.

MEMPHIS (WITI/CNN) It s a violent attack that was caught on camera and now, police in Memphis say they have arrested and charged four juveniles.
But U.S. District Judge Walter Smith Jr. signed a temporary injunction July 2 halting <a href=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Belts-Sale-Men-Belt-Hobo-Bags-Knit-Hat.html>Gucci Belts Sale</a>  the demolition in response to a suit filed by Chicago banker Kurt Dorr alleging that the move needed the approval of the alumni association鈥檚 membership.

The attack happened in the parking lot of a Kroger grocery store on Saturday, <a href=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Outlet-Online-Flats-Cufflinks-Bookbags.html>Gucci Bookbags</a>  September 6th.
Baylor; BAA; the group鈥檚 past president, Elizabeth Coker; and its current president, Collin Cox,鈥╝re named as defendants, although Dorr鈥檚 attorneys have filed a motion to dismiss Baylor as a party.
+
FOX6 s sister station, WREG in Memphis reports a 15-year-old has been charged with aggravated riot and acting in concert: to wit aggravated assault.
After a hearing Wednesday in Waco that lasted 41/2 hours, Smith mandated that the parties enter mediation with the goal of resolving the dispute this month. Attorneys for the parties agreed to meet July 22 with Austin-based mediator Karl Bayer.
+
WREG reports the teen was out on gun-related charges at the time of the attack. WREG says the teen wasn t enrolled in school, and his mother was previously charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
The temporary restraining order blocking demolition will remain in effect until the mediation is completed.
+
That teen is seen in the video wearing a lime green shirt.
Brian Nicholson, associate vice president of facilities, planning and construction for Baylor, testified that postponing the demolition will not prevent completion of the stadium and the pedestrian bridge in time for the first game of the 2014 football鈥╯eason.
+
WREG reports a 16-year-old is also charged with aggravated riot, and acting in concert: to wit aggravated assault. A 15-year-old and a 17-year-old are charged with aggravated riot.
  But Nicholson said the university could incur up to $300,000 in additional overtime costs to stay on schedule if the demolition is pushed back to September, when BAA members could next convene to vote on the project.
+
This, on the same day we re hearing from a man who claims he was victimized in the attack.
  Also, he said, part of the alumni center site is needed as a temporary parking lot for Mayborn Museum staff during phases 鈥╫f construction.
+
The man says he recenlty moved to Memphis, and pulled out his cell phone on Saturday when he was on his way to Kroger, thinking he was recording the start of a flash mob.
  Dorr鈥檚 request for the restraining <a href=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Handbags-Outlet-Used-Bags-Totes-Sale-Shoes.html>Gucci Handbags Outlet</a>  order claims that the agreement to vacate the alumni building violates a 1994 contract that prevents Baylor from taking possession of the alumni center unless there is a need for the land, no alternative exists, and Baylor provides another building of comparable 鈥渟ize, condition, quality of construction and location.鈥?
+
  Being new to the city, I don t know where I can and where I can t go. As I was starting to get my camera open, a guy popped around a car and said hey bro and just started swinging at me. And I tried to put my hands up, another guy started rushing at me. I took off running backwards through the parking lot, the man said.
In addition, the suit charges that an agreement that would transfer alumni outreach functions to Baylor violates a 1993 license agreement that gives BAA the perpetual right to act as the university鈥檚 alumni association except in the case of a default.
+
Video captured on a Kroger employee s cell phone shows the man.
Both agreements were signed by Cox, Coker and Baylor leaders on May 31.

  If you watch the video they say oh they re jacking, they re getting that white guy. I m that white guy, the man said.
School鈥檚 argument
+
The man is seen in the video wearing shorts and a blue shirt pushing several teens out of the way and running into the store.
But attorneys for BAA and Baylor argued that while the agreement to transfer alumni outreach functions still must be approved by two-thirds of the alumni membership at an upcoming Sept. 7 meeting, the agreement to leave the alumni building is a separate document that only required approval by the executive committee.
+
  I had run clear in through the door. I was at the fruit aisle. And I turned back to see if they were still following me. So immediately <a href=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Belts-Online-Real-Men-Sunglasses-Ties.html>Gucci Ties</a>  I pulled out my phone and called 911, the man said.
  Cox testified Wednesday that 11 of BAA鈥檚 14 executive committee members approved both agreements in a single vote during a May 30 conference call.
+
The man wasn t injured, but when he watched the video of the incident on Facebook, he says he was extremely frustrated.
Adam Feinberg, another attorney for Dorr, argued that the two agreements were part of an ongoing effort by Baylor to force closure of the alumni association.

  It was nonsense violence. I can say that for sure. It seemed very unprovoked. They weren t about anything, that it was fun for them.

Baylor in the past decade started its own alumni outreach organization called the Baylor Alumni Network.
