A 19-year-old man who was brutally beaten and stripped on camera was ambushed by a group of males after arranging to meet a girl, the Manchester Evening News understands.
Over the weekend, a video circulated on social media showing the savage assault, which was carried out on the footpath behind the Tesco Oldham Chadderton Superstore. In the disturbing clip, blood can be seen pouring from the victim's face as he is pinned down and repeatedly hit and kicked whilst screaming on the ground.
Three people have been arrested since the attack on June 21 and since the publication of the video, there have also been a string of incidents which Greater Manchester Police (GMP) say were 'in retaliation', including the windows of a house being smashed in Hurst Street - just yards away from the original assault.
