A 14-year-old boy was allegedly subjected to hours of abuse by a group of ten youths in the eastern German state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. The incident took place in the city of Neubrandenburg, where the victim was reportedly beaten, burned, and verbally harassed. Authorities believe parts of the attack were recorded and later shared on social media platforms.

Police became aware of the footage on Saturday, revealing events that had occurred several days earlier in the city center. Investigators stated that the group repeatedly kicked and punched the teenager, struck him with various objects, and inflicted burn injuries during the assault.

According to police reports, the victim sustained what officials described as minor injuries, although no detailed medical assessment has been publicly released.

Law enforcement authorities have identified the suspects, whose ages range from 9 to 15 years old. The group includes youths of German, Albanian, Tunisian, and German-Turkish backgrounds. Reports indicate that several of the suspects were already known to police prior to the incident.

For those who have reached the age of criminal responsibility, authorities have initiated legal proceedings. The allegations include assault, coercion, verbal abuse, and violations of privacy related to the recording and distribution of the incident.

Officials have not released further details regarding the backgrounds of the German suspects. It is also unclear whether some of the German-Turkish youths hold dual citizenship, a common situation among many families of Turkish heritage living in Germany. Investigations into the case remain ongoing.
