Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>Free State police are investigating a case of common assault after a group of white men allegedly attacked two black teens at the Maselspoort Resort outside Bloemfontein on Christmas Day.<\/p>\n

A video of the apparently racially-motivated confrontation has gone viral on social media.<\/p>\n

In the video, a white man is seen slapping a 13-year-old boy, who is then thrown back into the pool when he tries to get up. The man then appears to try to choke the 18 year old.<\/p>\n

Attempts to break up the confrontation fail and the situation escalates when another man pulls the younger teen’s hair.<\/p>\n

A scuffle then ensues with one man pushing one of the boys into the pool and seemingly trying to keep his head under water.<\/p>\n

The video ends when a man drags the older teen by the head in the pool.<\/p>\n

It is alleged that the white men tried to prevent the black teens from using the swimming pool at the resort.<\/p>\n

Free State police spokesperson Brigadier Motantsi Makhele said police were called out on Christmas Day, at 15:00 to “a fighting incident taking place at a holiday resort in Bloemfontein”.<\/p>\n
