An Atlanta teenager is hospitalized with burns covering
70 per cent of his body after two other teens attacked
him with a pot of boiling rice while he was sleeping.
Damon Clay, 17, is in a medically induced coma in
critical condition at Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta
after Monday's attack, reports DailyMail. Officers have
arrested 19-year-old Quintavious Barber and 18-year-
old Malik Morton for aggravated assault and cruelty to a
child, among other charges.
Relatives of the scalded victim said the two men
accused him of stealing a PlayStation 3. Neighbors
say the three teens were friends.
'They were friends. Everybody was supposed to be
friends,' neighbor Laprell Grant told WSBTV.
Kentaveus Watson, who is renting the apartment where
the incident happened, said that he is friends with
everyone who was involved in the attack and he's still
shocked by the events that occurred.
'It scared me, really. Ever since it happened, I've been
sleeping on the couch right where he got burned,' he
said.
