SINGAPORE – Shocking footage showing a teenage boy being beaten by a group of boys has sparked police concern.
In a statement, police said that those involved in the filming of the video have been identified and are currently under investigation.
Stomp contributors Veera and Reaz had told the citizen journalism website that they came across the video on Facebook.
The video shows a teenage boy being beaten up by a big group of bullies at a staircase landing.
The boys are seen taking turns to whack the helpless teen, pinning him to the wall – punching, kneeing and kicking him to the ground. One even jumped on his legs while he was on the floor.
A police spokesperson told Stomp that a report was lodged and investigations are ongoing.
Veera told the website: “There are quite a few things I have to say after watching this video, number one is definitely how atrocious their behaviour is. Number two, no one came forward to help the boy.
“As seen from the video, the more ‘wannabe’ ones treated him like a punching bag. Also, what are the boys trying to prove from this video?
“Such ‘smaller-scale’ incidents can lead them to engaging in even more serious things if they don’t get caught.
