This is the shocking moment a group of Russian teenagers brutally beat a man in the street and repeatedly kick his head like a football because he was drunk and swore at them.

The incident was filmed in the village of Kapustin Yar in the south-western Russian region of Astrakhan Oblast, and the footage was later shared on social media by one of the teen group members where it has been widely circulated.

In the video, one of the teenagers is seen dragging the 30-year-old victim to the ground before pummelling his head and face on the ground.

While the man tries to sit up, the teen comes over and kicks him in the head before pulling him back to the ground.

Then two teens start kicking the victim’s head like a football and he lies on the ground, covering his face.

According to reports, the victim is a 30-year-old resident who has reported the incident to the police.

Local media said that one of the teenagers’ school teachers also filed a complaint about the incident after viewing the video online.

Meanwhile, the police confirmed that the unnamed aggressors were aged 15 and 16 after they reportedly admitted taking part in the incident.

The schoolboys explained that they beat the man because he was drunk and insulted them with swear words.

There have been no further updates on the victim’s condition as the investigation continues.

Netizen ‘Olga Naletova’ said: “These young b*stards should be locked up.”

‘Natalya Solnechnaya’ commented: “One day, these guys will also be drunk and end up being beaten by thugs like them.”
