CRAWLEY, England, March 26 (UPI) -- British authorities are attempting to identify an adult heard in a YouTube video encouraging two young boys in a brutal fight.
Police said the video, titled "Lethal Fight (Crawley)," features two boys thought to be between the ages of 10 and 12, fighting in a bedroom in what is believed to be the town of Crowley in West Sussex, England, The Daily Mail reported Wednesday.
The video, which has been removed by YouTube, also features the voice of the adult cameraman encouraging the boys to harm one another and insulting them with profanity when the violence begins to subside.
Authorities said images of the boys in the video are being circulated by law enforcement agencies and child protection services to attempt to identify the children.
"We take very seriously any situation where young children are subjected to violence and appeal to anyone who can assist us with the identification of the people involved," said Inspector Mark Piper of Sussex Police.
