THREE men have been charged with a number of offences including grievous bodily harm with intent.
It follows an attack on a 17 year old male at a flat on the Donegall Road in Belfast on Friday 3 May.
He was left critically injured in hospital.
A video of the sickening assault was later uploaded onto social media.
All three are due to appear at Belfast Magistrates court on Monday, May 6 for a first remand hearing.
As is normal procedure the charges will be reviewed by the PPS.
