In one of the videos, several assailants repeatedly beat a young boy who is sitting on an armchair.

The latter tries unsuccessfully to ward off the blows.

The people in the room, including the one filming, insult their victim in general hilarity, and linger on his swollen face.

In another film, the attackers whisper before trying to shave the hair of the young man, who appears to be asleep and then wakes up and tries, again, to struggle.

They end up hitting him again.

Some of the faces of the attackers can be seen in the recordings.

In the evening, the deputy Ian Boucard (LR), of the Territoire de Belfort, thus evoked "

”.
