The two men alleged to have assaulted the two brothers in Labasa over the weekend have been charged.
Police confirmed that the two men will appear at the Magistrate’s Court in Labasa tomorrow morning.
It’s understood that they have been charged with assault causing bodily harm.
A video footage of the assault has gone viral, showing Epeli Asaisea, who appeared intoxicated, being punched and kicked repeatedly along the main road as bystanders watched in horror.
At one point, one of the men can be heard saying to throw Asaisea to him so the beating could continue.
The footage of Asaisea in the Labasa Hospital, with bandages covering his body, has sparked widespread outrage online.
Many social media users have condemned the attack, calling for justice and stronger measures to prevent such violence.
The matter over the broken boot window was resolved after reconciliation, with the group paying for the damage.
It is understood that Asaisea filed the report himself at Labasa Police Station around 3 am yesterday.
