Vigilante trolls threaten to stab ‘bully’ who ‘waterboarded’ Syrian boy and say he should’ve died in Manchester attack
Endless abuse has been hurled at the boy, 16, who has gone into hiding after receiving death threats
VIGILANTE trolls have threatened to stab a "bully" teen accused of "waterboarding" a Syrian refugee schoolboy.
Endless abuse has been hurled at the boy, 16, with social media posts saying he deserved to die in the Manchester terror attack.
The teen has been forced to flee his home in Huddersfield after cops feared gangs would attack him over the waterboarding incident.
It is understood cops removed the lad’s family - a mum and younger two sisters - under the cover of darkness after a vigilantes turned up in cars and hurled a barrage of abuse.
The alleged attacker has been inundated with death threats on social media after disturbing footage of a 15-year-old boy being assaulted was shared tens of thousands of times.
After the alleged bully’s address was posted online, one angry man on Facebook fumed: “Thanks for the address mate, I’ll be there tomorrow with a knife ready to stab the c***.”
Many of the comments on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter were full of foul language and insults too explicit to publish.
However, most people have told the boy - who cannot be named for legal reasons – he should be ashamed of himself.
Another threatened: “What school u at? I got a bottle of water on me ready for ur [sic] disgraceful face.”
One poster said: “That video will haunt you for the rest of your life. Good luck finding a decent job.”
Another fumed: “Disgusting pig. You deserve everything that’s happening to you.”
One person on Instagram wrote: “There are no other words to describe you other than disgusting horrible. Your family should be ashamed.”
