Horrific moment teenage boy is beaten 'to a pulp' by thug as he lies in foetal position on ground

Horrific footage has emerged of a young boy being beaten by a vicious thug as he lies in a foetal position on the ground, desperately trying to protect himself.

The victim lies on the floor, defenceless, while he is punched and stamped on in the brutal attack.

Footage appears to show blood pouring out of the boy's mouth.

Two videos have been shared on Facebook showing a youth wearing black jogging pants, a black hooded top and a black cap punching and stamping on a boy's head.

His attacker can be heard calling him a "f****** little goon" with bystanders telling him to stop the violence, the Hull Daily Mail reports.

The attacker eventually stops and walks away from the boy, who can be heard crying.

It's believed that the attack took place in Bridlington.

The video, originally posted on Snapchat, has been shared on Facebook more than 400 times with the post attracting over 300 comments.

The person who posted the video was not the one filming the attack.

Many people were left disgusted by the thug's actions who was labelled as "scum."

One person posted: "Does it make you feel big yeah 3 of u fighting some kid? Small and weak is what it makes you. Grow the f*** up."

Another called the attacker an "absolutely disgusting piece of s***."

It's thought that the incident has been reported to Humberside Police who the Mirror Online has contacted for a comment.
