A boy was "humiliated" and beaten to tears by a "bullying gang" of youngsters – suspected of migrant origin – in Zelzate – a Flemish region in Belgium – according to a video that went viral on social media last week.
According to a video which circulated online, six young people surround a boy. The gang forces him to get on his knees and kiss their feet.
"Kiss, kiss," the gang demanded. After the boy complied with their requests by force, he was repeatedly punched in his head and face several times. The gang laughs and departs the scene.
The identities of the gang members involved in the criminal assault, which reportedly occurred on August 11, were not immediately revealed by police.
The president of Vlaams Belang, the Flemish far-right populist party, called the video "disgusting." Some in the party suspected the gang were of migrant origin.
"[A] White Flemish child has to kiss the feet of Muslims," Flip Dewinter said, calling it the "humiliation of the non-Muslims."
