POLICE are investigating a video showing a 14-year-old schoolboy being brutally beaten by other students on a roadway in Chaguanas earlier this week.

The video, which has been widely shared on social media, shows the boy being surrounded and assaulted by several other boys before collapsing to his knees on Wednesday. While on the ground, he is repeatedly kicked in the head and upper body until he appears motionless.

A vehicle, which had been blocked during the altercation, is then seen moving forward and making contact with the boy as he lay on the roadway.
