Police investigate 'incredibly distressing' video showing two young boys punching Sikh child

Police have launched a hate crime investigation after a video emerged showing a schoolboy being allegedly attacked by two fellow pupils.

The clip, which was filmed on November 13 and has since been widely shared on social media, shows the boy being kicked to the ground and then repeatedly punched in the head as they walked home from school.

West Mercia Police have also launched a hate crime investigation after the pupils were identified.
