Shocking video has emerged of a young autistic boy being savagely bashed by a gang of youths at a busy Sydney mall here in Australia.

The 15-year-old said he knew why he was targeted. “For fun and entertainment.”
His mother said she was heartbroken to see the footage.
“For me to see his body elevate from the ground and be thrown across onto a seat and hear his head smash onto the seat is an image I cannot get out of my head.”
