A teenage boy in Cork was brutally assaulted on Saturday night in a vicious beating and stabbing attack by a number of other youths.
The incident took place around 10:30pm on Saturday night. It’s understood that the boy was treated in Cork University Hospital and is said to be in a stable condition after he received a bad beating to his face and stab wounds to his back.
A video of the animalistic attack has went viral on social media.
The Liberal understands that the attack took place when the young boy was approached by a group of youths.
They allegedly asked him for “€2 to get the bus home to Collig” – Collig being Ballincollig on the outskirts of Cork City.
The boy declined their demands and was set upon in what many are describing as an act of pure evil.
The young boy was stabbed in the lower back, roughly where his liver is or possibly the lung area.
The attack is filmed and narrated by another youth who appears to have a London accent and it also shows a young girl attempting to shield the boy from the thugs, begging them to stop, but the youth filming wants to get her out of the way so he can continue to shout “look at all the blood, fam”.
In an unrelated incident last week, a Limerick teenager was savagely beaten by youths who appear to be shouting at him about “400 years of slavery”.
