The 46-year-old father and his son were charged with aggravated assault after allegedly assaulting a 14-year-old Aboriginal boy in South Australia in December
The father – who cannot be identified as his son, who is a minor, has also been charged – appeared in the Port Augusta Magistrates Court on Tuesday.
He pleaded guilty to one aggravated count of committing an assault without a weapon, Adelaide Now reports.
He was remanded on continuing bail to face sentencing submissions in March.
The vicious bashing was uploaded by the victim’s aunty and shows the young boy being chased down and thrown to the ground by the brother of a girl he allegedly spat on, while her father yelled threats.
The slender teenager first faced a series of shoves from the son, with the father threatening to ‘smash his f***ing face in’ if he retaliated.
‘Tell him to leave me alone then,’ the defenseless teen yells while being thrust backwards in a choke hold.
‘Nah you deserve what you get mate,’ the father says.
After being smashed into a concrete wall and thrown to the ground at the hands of the son, the father then demands the boy to apologise ‘for spitting on his daughter’.
The son continues to throw punches into the sides of the victim, who can be heard repeatedly screaming, ‘I’m sorry’.
As the son continues to unleash his aggressive wrath, the father halts the attack momentarily to direct the victim onto his knees.
‘Who else are you sorry to? Sorry to my daughter? To his mum? You better f***ing mean it,’ he bellows while standing above him.

‘You know what’s going to happen to your f***ing famliy if I ever hear you say anything again, you know what’s going to f****ing happen?
‘I’m going to come to your f***ing house mate and it’s going to be f***ing hell, you got it?’.’
The son shoves the defenseless boy onto the bitumen as the father continues yelling threats.
‘Look at me in the f***ing eye, you f***in got it?,’ he howls while removing sunglasses from his eyes.
‘You spit on my daughter again, I’m gonna f***in cave your head in, you got it c***, yeah?.’
Finally released from the son’s grip, the teen leaps to his feet and walks away swiftly as the father continues hurling threats in his direction.
