Graphic footage sparks outrage

A two-minute video posted online shows the boys grappling over a badminton racket before the attacker, wearing a blue jacket, slams the victim to the ground and punches his head multiple times. The victim, in a gray shirt, is then kicked at least eight times against a wall while bystanders watch without intervening until others finally separate them.

Netizens condemned the attacker’s brutality, with one saying that he “needs to be punished by the law before someone gets killed”.

The uploader claimed the boys attend a local school and that their parents arrived afterward but failed to de-escalate the situation.

Netizens are urging school authorities to address the violence, with some demanding legal action to deter future incidents.
