Boy bashed up after teasing bully, say Sabah police


The two-and-a-half-minute video, which went viral on Monday night, shows the bully violently assaulting the victim while their classmates look on in the background.

KOTA KINABALU: A viral video of a Year Six pupil beating up his schoolmate was triggered after the victim allegedly teased his tormentor about his late father.  

Penampang district police chief Deputy Supt Rosley Hobden said the two 12-year-olds, who are currently sitting for their Ujian Pencapaian Sekolah Rendah (UPSR), had been called by the police to give their statements.
