He was biking home from school with a friend when he was approached by a group of seven likely underage youths. What initially seemed friendly quickly turned threatening, after which the young man was forced to hand over his phone and money and was humiliated, beaten, and kicked by several of the youths under the threat of a firearm. The group recorded this incident.
The group consists of six men and one woman, aged between 14 and 18 years, with light to dark skin tones and mostly dressed in dark clothing. One of the suspects wore a yellow shirt.
