The battered face of a 15-year-old kicked 'like a human football' by gang of yobs in case of mistaken identity

This shocking picture shows the battered face of an innocent schoolboy beaten so savagely by 'shameless' thugs his own mother barely recognised him. The 15-year old slightly built lad was confronted in the street and punched and kicked 'like a human football' in what police fear was a case of mistaken identity. He and his friends had earlier been chatting outside a row of shops in Manchester on a Saturday afternoon when the gang of 12 burly men drew up in three cars.
