4 in police custody after special-needs man kidnapped, tortured on Facebook Live.
A graphic video has emerged of a white special-needs man in Chicago apparently being kidnapped, beaten and tortured by black attackers who can be heard cursing white people and President-elect Donald Trump.
The footage was streamed Tuesday on Facebook Live by a woman identified on the social media platform as “Brittany Herring.”
A white man – reportedly a special-needs person who was reported missing from a suburb – can be seen slumped against a corner on the floor of a room.
He is tied up and has tape binding his mouth.
“F–k Donald Trump, nigga! F–k white people, boy! F–k white people, boy!” one attacker shouts as he kicks the man.
The assailants laugh about their attack being reported to the police after a Facebook user warns them that they will be arrested.
When another Facebook commenter tells them their torture isn’t funny, they mock her and claim it is.
CBS Chicago reported that the victim’s clothes were slashed, he was “peppered with cigarette ashes, and then his hair cut with a knife until his scalp bled.”
