Witnesses claim the attackers used keys as weapons and inflicted injuries on sensitive parts of his body, leaving him with severe wounds.
The teenager sustained serious injuries to his head and eyes. Residents, alarmed by the brutality of the attack, informed the local police, who arrived promptly and rescued the boy from further harm.
