Two boys have been arrested and charged after a video of a boy being attacked in Peterhead was posted online.
The incident was captured on camera and uploaded to social media app Snapchat, before being later shared on other websites including Facebook.
Police say the 13-year-olds will both be reported to the youth justice management unit.
Sergeant Alex Carle, of the Buchan Community Policing Team, said:”North East Division will not tolerate any incidents of violence within our communities and will take robust action on those involved, including those involved in the recording of these incidents.
“Incidents of this nature are distressing to watch and we have been in regular contact with the youngster involved and his family.
I would like to thank those within the community that have contacted the police and assisted us in our inquiries.”
