17-year-old charged over sickening attack
Print Edition
ONE of three teenagers alleged to have taken part in a sickening assault on a 13-year-old boy in the Beijing area has been charged with fighting in public.
Footage of the attack in May, in which the victim was punched, kicked, hit with a brick and urinated on, was posted online, leading to a public outcry.
Yesterday, prosecutors from Chaoyang District said one of the three suspects, a 17-year-old surnamed Yang, has been charged with affray.
The other suspects, 14-year-olds surnamed Guo and Cheng, are too young to be charged with the offense.
Prosecutors did not give the condition of the victim, whose name was not disclosed.
There was widespread public anger and condemnation of the 8-minute 40-second clip posted on the Internet.
It shows three youths stripped to the waist slapping, punching and kicking a boy on the head, body and legs.
Then one throws a brick at the victim, striking him on the head. After he collapses, they urinate on him.
On May 25, a 14-year-old boy surnamed Chang, who is said to have filmed and posted the clip online, went to police.
The next day, Guo handed himself in to police and Yang and Cheng were held in the neighboring Hebei Province.
Prosecutors said that Yang is also charged with stealing goods worth nearly 8,000 yuan (US$1,300) from a car in April, and that Cheng has been charged with arson in connection with a blaze in a market in January.
Prosecutors suggested that police should place Cheng and Guo in a detention house for educating.
