Two teenagers have been charged with GBH after a video of a young boy being punched to the ground emerged online.

The boys, both aged 17, are accused of assaulting a 15-year-old in a park in Romford, east London.

They have been bailed to appear at Barkingside magistrates’ court on October 19.

The victim was taken to hospital after the attack in Raphael Park on July 21 but has since been discharged, police said.

A third boy, also aged 17, was arrested on Wednesday in connection with the incident.
