Horrific Snapchat video of vile gang attack on schoolboy which left him with burst eardrum sickens worried father

A horrified dad has spoken out after shocking footage showing a gang of teenage thugs punching his son in the head - and then allegedly bragging about it - appeared on Snapchat.



Ben Crushcov, 42, from Bath, was working from home on Saturday when his son came back with a suspected perforated eardrum and concussion.



He claimed the attack came after the schoolboy was 'lured to the scene' by a girl who had invited him to go for a walk on Saturday afternoon in Corsham, Wiltshire - but which actually turned out to be a 'trap'.



Mr Crushcov also now believes his son might not have been their only victim.



Speaking to Mirror Online, the furious father revealed that he believes the gang who attacked his son have terrified dozens of children in his quiet Cotswold town.



He said: "You don't want to let them out the house after an incident like this - how can you?



"Since the video has come out I've been inundated with messages from other parents whose children have been attacked in similar incidents - they are terrifying loads of children."
