Police on Montreal's South Shore say four teenagers have been arrested in connection with a video showing a violent attack on a 16-year-old boy near a high school.
The graphic video shows someone repeatedly punching a teenager in the head while he is on his knees as other youths look on.
The incident happened near the École secondaire du Mont-Bruno, near Longueuil, on Tuesday.
Longueuil police (SPAL) wrote in a post on Facebook that four teens who attend the school have been arrested, adding that it is enhancing patrols in light of the violent act. The victim suffered non-life-threatening injuries.
The students have been suspended, according to Education Minister Bernard Drainville, who described the incident as "outrageous."
"My heart goes out to the student who was subjected to this violence. Violence in all its forms has no place in our schools," Drainville wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.
