Football fans attack eight-year-old with brain cancer and burn his shirt in shameful scenes

Fans of French outfit Ajaccio attacked an eight-year-old boy who has brain cancer on Saturday - with the club condemning the "unspeakable acts".

Ajaccio have been relegated from Ligue 1 and were hosting Marseille at the Stade Francois Coty on the final weekend of the season. The game was overshadowed as the club's fans attacked a young Marseille supporter called Kenzo, who has severe brain cancer, whilst his father was also punched twice.

The child's shirt was ripped off him and later burnt by home fans as crowd trouble marred the contest, which Ajaccio won 1-0 thanks to a late goal. French outlet RMC Sport claims there were racist chants inside the stadium whilst there is also footage of a journalist being attacked.
