A teen who suffered swift and brutal street justice after he was caught trying to steal a gang member's car says he has learnt a valuable lesson.
In a surprise twist the boy, who was filmed being whacked across his face by a Mongrel mobster, has appeared in a new video offering to clean the same vehicle inside out. He is also promising never to steal again.
Disturbing footage emerged last week capturing an interrogation between a mobster and a teenager accused of tampering with his vehicle.
The teenager repeatedly denied it, saying he was trying to fix the car's chassis before the driver lashed out, striking him forcefully in the mouth.
It has been viewed more than 345,000 times since it was posted to social media and attracted international headlines.
