LONDON—A video of a British schoolboy being bullied and strangled by another pupil has gone viral, sparking outrage and an outpouring of sympathy in the form of over £50,000 in donations.

The undated video shows a 16-year-old boy head-butt a much smaller 15-year-old whose arm is in plaster, identifying him as Jamal, as a group of school children walk across a field. After knocking him to the ground, the larger boy pours water over his mouth as he talks about “drowning” him—what many furious social media users have described as “waterboarding.”
