The prosecution has objected to bail, and the accused have waived their rights to counsel.

Their bail hearing will be called again next Wednesday.

In the video, a man is seen punching and kicking the victim and claiming that he has taken his mobile phone.

The victim was heard saying he did not steal the phone and had only tried to escape when one of his friends was being beaten.

There were other people around when the incident was happening, and a security officer was also spotted.
