Yeah, that was my impression. The by-standers weren't as animalistic as the story makes it sound. They just acted like typical gormless teenagers.
It's hard to tell because it's not like his nose was literally ripped off. It was just kind of floating around underneath the skin. But I think it was the second punch that did it.

The news make it look more brutal than it was. Reading the article I actually tough he was savagely beaten in the ground while people cheared like crazy seeing him being destroyed by the other guy. In reality, he took two punches. The second one was a "lucky" punch that missed the majority of the face and got the nose right in the side, broking and moving it out of place. Not even as brutal as the news report it, but the agressor was way stronger and the punches connected in a bad way. As the by-standers, they didn't knew the guy was that hurt. When I see someone taking two punches, I won't usually imagine he will have more than a black eye, let alone needs major facial surgery.
Anyway, the guy caused major damage (even if he didn't intended to hurt him so bad, something we don't know) and will have to pay for what he does and the victim's family will probably sue the school and pursue worse (and well deserved) criminal charges against the aggressor.
