A recording of a group of teenagers slapping and physically assaulting a school boy in Johor recently went viral.

It can be seen in the video that the boy who was bullied tried to protect himself by backing up a few times and even tried to defend himself as one of the teenagers continued slapping him across his face repeatedly and even threatening him.
The Johor Bahru Selatan district police chief ACP Mohd Padzli Mohd Zain said that allegedly the victim had previously insulted the cousin of one of the suspects, which then made the suspects come to the scene to confront the victim who was initially talking to his friend.
One teenager in a red t-shirt continued slapping him, shouting: “Who is going to protect you now? If you ever say that to my brother again, I will cut you next time.”
After a while, two other suspects joined in and started to hit the boy. Police have arrested five teenagers aged between 15 and 17-years-old who were involved in the brawl.

“The suspects were arrested after they were found hitting the boy several times on the face which have caused some light injuries. An investigation will be carried out under Section 323 for causing hurt and Section 506 for criminal intimidation of the Penal Code,” said Padzli.
Inflicting harm or pain on someone who is incapable of protecting themselves is absolutely not okay, guys!
