No arrests in shocking viral video of man beating teen in West Deptford

WEST DEPTFORD — Police have not made any arrests following public outrage over a viral video that showed a muscular man severely kicking and punching a teen boy for almost a minute.

But police in this Gloucester County community, however, say they continue their investigation. Officials said Friday that the 15-year-old seen bloodied in the video remains safe.

"The juvenile in the video does not reside with nor have any contact with the other subject in the video," police said Friday in a statement posted to Facebook. "The juvenile is safe and his family has requested that their privacy be respected. We again appreciate everyone's concern and we will release information regarding the outcome of the investigation when it is complete."

The video came to light earlier in the week after it was first shared by Kevin D. Wise on Facebook. As of Saturday, that same Facebook video had been viewed more than 4.68 million times.

Days after the video was posted, Police Chief Samuel DiSimone told 6 ABC that the man and the teen know each other but that the young man was no longer in danger.
