Buenos Aires, November 21 (NA) – Two brothers have been arrested for their alleged participation in a violent assault on a 16-year-old teenager during an informal football match on a rented pitch in the city of Mariano Acosta, Buenos Aires Province. The incident was caught on video that went viral in recent days. Three relatives are involved, and one is still at large.

They were arrested during a raid ordered by Guarantee Court No. 3 at a residence on Iberá Street 4000. The third implicated individual, 27-year-old Enzo Sebastián Alegre, is being actively sought. Miguel Torres, 16, was attacked on November 18 during the game.
