A horrendous video is doing the rounds at the moment showing a 50-year-old man stomping on a defenceless teen’s chest in a mall parking lot in Limpopo, Polokwane.

The boy is only 16, which doesn’t seem to phase the man who unleashes his fury on the cowering teen, even pointing a gun at him at one stage.

The incident is said to have taken place at Groblersdal Game Centre on Wednesday evening, per EWN, with the outlet also confirming that the man has been arrested and is facing charges of assault with intent to cause grievous bodily harm and pointing of a firearm.

IOL revealed the identity of the victim, a teen named Kopano. The identity of the attacker has not been revealed.

The brutal attack reportedly came about after an argument over chip seasoning:

Kopano and his elder brother accompanied by a group of friends were buying potato chips at a local fast-food restaurant.

It is alleged that the man received his order of chips first and was busy adding salt and condiments to his food when Kopano’s brother requested that he please pass the salt.

The man indicated to them that he was still busy and that they should wait. The boys then allegedly tried to use one of the other sauces while he was busy and the man took exception to this.

It was at this point that the man whipped out his gun and began to assault Kopano’s brother, who Kopano allegedly rushed to defend only to be turned on himself.

Ready yourself for the onslaught:

Twitter users cannot believe the violence, calling the matter an incident of racism and white supremacy.

The teen was taken to the hospital and released soon afterwards.

The suspect will appear before the Groblersdal Magistrates’ Court today.
