A video showing a brutal assault on a young woman in Almaty has surfaced on social media. The footage shows several girls striking her, pulling her hair, and continuing to beat her as the incident is recorded, reports Orda.kz.
Users were particularly outraged that the recording was posted online. The video appears to have been uploaded by one of the participants, who added music to it. The account owner later deleted the clip, but other users began sharing it.
In the comments, people are demanding that all those involved be identified and held accountable. One commenter said they had already filed a police report.
The editorial team has sent an inquiry to the police to find out where the incident took place, whether a report has been filed, and if an investigation is underway. No response had been received at the time of publication.
Earlier, Orda.kz reported that several teenagers beat a man in Kaskelen. Police said they identified all participants and held the minors' parents accountable.
