An 11-year-old boy was allegedly dragged into a school toilet in South Africa and forcibly circumcised by four older pupils, according to a report by the Daily Mail on Wednesday.
The Grade 5 pupil was allegedly attacked during break time at Sinqobile Primary School in Soshanguve, north of Pretoria, by four Grade 7 pupils who held him down and cut off his foreskin.
The Daily Mail reported that the boys threatened the victim against telling anyone about the incident.
The boy reportedly returned home after the attack but did not immediately disclose what had happened.
His mother later noticed that he was walking unusually and, after he complained of severe pain, took him to a doctor.
