CCTV shows man kicking boys before attacking them with helmet
The footage, which was posted on TikTok, begins with two boys sitting on the floor outside the net café. One of them, wearing an orange hoodie, appears to be smoking.
A man dressed in a black shirt then approaches and speaks to the boys briefly before suddenly kicking both of them.
The man then peers into the café and gestures for others inside to come out.
Moments later, the boy in orange braces himself before being kicked again, knocking him to the ground.
As the first boy curls on the ground in a fetal position, the man turns to the second boy before also kicking him.

Not stopping there, the man turned his attention to two other boys.
He repeatedly hit one of them with the helmet while the other remained untouched.
The boy eventually collapsed to the ground, raising his arms to shield himself from further blows.
More than 10 boys could be seen sitting in a row outside the café, seemingly waiting as the man continued his outburst.
Later checks by MS News revealed that the TikTok video of the incident has since been taken down.
