Shocking footage of a gang beating on the main road in Buġibba has emerged.

In the footage, at least three men heavily attack a man who is lying on the ground in Triq Il-Korp Tal-Pijunieri, a busy road in Buġibba. One man is holding an item, possibly a belt, as he slugs it downwards repeatedly as two others kick the man.

At one point, one man walks away while touching the back of his head, before returning to kick the injured man in the head as he tries to get up.

Eventually, the beaten man gets up and flees.

Police told Lovin Malta that they received a report over the incident at around 3.30pm yesterday. When they arrived on the scene, they found one Ukrainian man, who refused to recount what happened, and refused medical attention when an ambulance was offered to him.

Police investigations into the beating are underway.

A number of brawls have been filmed in Malta over the last few weeks, with police urging people to keep calm as the heated summer months approach.
