The victim was beaten with a backpack and beaten in the face, sending him falling to the ground, the fountains said.
“They were looking for problems to harass everyone who saw,” said the victim, who didn’t want to be identified. “When they began to crowd the taxi driver, they kill me and realize to leave him alone. It was then that a coward hit me from behind with a backpack.”
