A teenager and a man have been arrested just hours after a distressing video showing a schoolboy being assaulted by a 'pack' of individuals began circulating online.
The sickening incident, which was caught on camera, showed a man allegedly restraining a young boy as other youngsters lined up to hit him, in Newport, South Wales.
Gwent Police confirmed this afternoon that a 13-year-old boy has been arrested on suspicion of assault occasioning actual bodily harm, while a 30-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of affray and assault occasioning actual bodily harm.
The pair, who are both from Cwmbran, remain in custody tonight.
Police continue to investigate the alleged assault which happened in broad daylight not far from Lliswerry High School on Wednesday afternoon - as officers also probe a second reported incident involving a different child being assaulted earlier in the day.
