Girl sucker-punched, KO'd on video; Teen boys held

A video appeared on Facebook in which a 15-year-old girl from Beverwijk was punched to the ground and then kicked repeatedly by two boys aged 14 and 15 in Ijmuiden. The police have arrested the two teen boys, and report that the girl has had hospital treatment for "lesions to her face", the Algemeen Dagblad writes. On Facebook, a post appeared on Thursday showing a video of the incident, with the caption "Who knows them? Plein '45.. Dirty assholes... oh yeah, they're very brave fighting a girl. If I was standing there Well." Outrage poured through social media, and the police responded that they would take the case high up, a spokesperson for the police said. According to the AD, the police have not yet established a motive. The video shows a first boy punching the girl straight in the face, from which she stumbles backwards. Onlookers seem to find this fantastic, as they laugh. Several more swings knock the girl to the ground after which a second boy decides to kick her in the body and face. Whoever was behind the camera did nothing to intervene. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3fad9u2blI
