He complies, but then gets spat on by the teen behind him. One of the teens standing behind him then shoves the boy’s head, telling the boy to kiss her shoes again.
“Make sure you lick the f@#$ing shoe,” he says. Once again, the boy complies.
But as he leans down, another teen suddenly stomps the boy’s head. Another teen from offscreen follows it up with a slap to his face before the video ends.
There were multiple videos of this incident that have since circulated online.
More than just one incident
In another video, a teen in a khaki shirt is seen standing in a similar stairwell. Once again, the bullying victim is surrounded by multiple teens. One of the teens hits the khaki-shirt teen with the blue helmet he’s holding.
According to The Straits Times, there is another video of this specific incident. The video shows the bullied teen receiving two additional blows as the crowd cheers on.
Finally, there’s one more video showing a teen talking in front of a crowd of other teens. As he speaks, he gets interrupted when one of the teens kicks him in the face.
The teen who got kicked stays down, with the one who kicked him making a celebratory skip before the video cuts off.
