Boy who 'bullied' and 'waterboarded' 15-year-old Syrian refugee at Huddersfield school has left the country with his mother
A teenager from a Huddersfield school accused of attacking a 15-year-old Syrian refugee has reportedly fled the country with his mother after a video of the incident went viral on social media, according to the accused's brother.
The 16-year-old's elder brother, while talking to the Daily Mail, said that the accused, who is set to be charged with assault, has left Huddersfield, after the clip of him attacking the refugee schoolboy at Almondbury Community School gained traction online. Reports state that the boy's mother has also fled along with him as she was being threatened.
The teen's elder brother, however, boasted of an "army" surrounding their house to protect the family as a police van remained stationed outside their home. He also defended the teenager saying that his brother reacted the way he did in the video because the Syrian refugee, identified as Jamal, was involved in an earlier incident with him.
