In a disturbing scene, an injured and bleeding teenager is robbed in broad daylight by unscrupulous thugs who feign assistance to help him stand.
The unnamed youth appears to be receiving aid from well-meaning bystanders after being found dazed and hurt on the ground.
However, just moments after the defenseless boy, who is bleeding profusely from his head, is helped to his feet, the heartless thieves begin rummaging through his backpack.
With more than a dozen young men loitering nearby, the injured teen attempts to staunch the blood flow while the robbers persist in their audacious act.
A man can be seen clearly as he grabs items from the boy’s bag and then casually walks away with the stolen goods, discarding them carelessly on the ground shortly after.
The teenager seems largely unaware of the theft occurring until it’s too late, when he swats at one of the perpetrators in an attempt to reclaim his belongings.
The brazen delinquents have faced backlash from online users, who have labeled them as ‘the lowest of the low.’
The shocking incident appears to have been recorded by a member of the public, who has been encouraged by viewers online to report the footage to the authorities.
When the individual capturing the distressing moment realizes the gravity of the situation, he exclaims, ‘Are they taking something from his bag?’
It remains unclear where exactly in the country the robbery occurred or when it took place, though the footage indicates it happened before nightfall.
‘Why can’t we stick together?’
