According to reports, the victim was working inside a shoe store when several youths confronted him and allegedly began attacking him. During the confrontation, the attackers reportedly struck him, threw merchandise, and sprayed him with pepper spray.
Security-camera footage from inside the store reportedly captured the confrontation, showing the youths surrounding the employee as the situation escalated into violence.

The victim has called for authorities to take the matter seriously and ensure that those responsible are held accountable.
The identities of the alleged attackers and the status of any arrests or criminal charges have not been independently confirmed.
The case has drawn additional attention because of the security-camera recording, which has circulated widely online and prompted discussion about public safety and the protection of victims who cooperate with police investigations.
