Teenager to be charged over 'racially-charged attack' on 15-year-old Syrian refugee at Huddersfield school
Reports state that the United Nations assisted the Syrian refugee boy after his family was persecuted under Bashar al-Assad's regime
A teenager from a school in Huddersfield is set to be charged with assault after a video of him attacking and "waterboarding" a Syrian refugee schoolboy went viral on social media.
West Yorkshire police said that they were investigating a report of a "racially aggravated assault" against the 15-year-old boy, who came to the region two years ago.
Reports state that the United Nations assisted the Syrian refugee boy after his family was persecuted under Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's regime. The police officials, on Tuesday, confirmed that the boy was to be charged with assault, according to the Guardian. Both the students involved in the incident have not been officially identified yet.
