Four teenagers were facing hate crime charges today for allegedly bullying a Muslim classmate in their New York school.
The victim, now 16, was said to have been subjected to a harrowing ordeal in which he was frequently labelled a 'terrorist', punched in the groin and was spat in the face.
It was the latest example of a spate of hate crimes which have shocked New York, after it emerged last week that a Bronx gang tortured two teenagers and an adult for being gay.

New York Police Department arrested three 14-year-olds and a 15-year-old over the year-long hate campaign, which ended in June when the victim left his school in Staten Island.
They were charged with assault and aggravated harassment as a hate crime and will appear in court.
