Nightclub horror: Hungarian teenager trained in martial arts knocked out so badly he can’t feel half of his face

Fortunately, this street attack didn’t end as tragically as two punches thrown earlier that same day in Budapest, which sadly resulted in the victim’s death in hospital. Still, the boy from Szolnok has every reason to consider himself lucky if he escapes the assault by a gang of five without permanent damage — as of now, he cannot feel half of his face. Unfortunately, his martial arts skills offered no defence, as he was attacked from behind.

Leaving a private party alone, heading home

The 16-year-old, making his way home from a party in Szolnok, was set upon by a group of five. One of them showed “remarkable bravery and valour” by striking him from behind so forcefully that the teenager now has no sensation in half of his face. The troublemakers prompted local police to organise patrols in the area, although patrol cars only roam the streets until 2 a.m. The assault happened after that.

The attack took place on the night of a formal school ball held at a venue called Boomerang, where entry was by pre-purchased ticket only — meaning the troublemakers couldn’t get in and were left outside. However, this gang seemed determined to pick a fight with peaceful partygoers at any cost that night.

Here are some photos of the Boomerang club:
