According to police, 13-year-old Du Chuanwang was helping out at a car repair shop when two employees pushed him to the ground and assaulted him as part of a "prank."
Investigators say the two men forced the nozzle of a high pressure air pump deep into the boy's rectum and forced enough air inside him to fill a tire. The pressure inside the boy's abdomen was so high, his legs turned purple as a result.
The boy was rushed to a local hospital where surgeons performed emergency surgery to let the air out. The boy's intestines were perforated with holes, causing massive internal bleeding.
The boy is now listed in stable condition, however his intestines, lungs, liver, kidneys and nose continue to bleed and are battling serious bacterial infection. The boy's eardrums and stomach were also damaged from the assault.
The shop owner has donated heavily towards the boy's medical costs and the family has received thousands of dollars in various donations. The family has now stopped accepting donations, stating that the boy's medical bills are sufficiently covered for now.
"We can only provide the necessary life support to him for now, as his condition is very complicated and the doctors have not yet devised a final treatment plan," stated hospital officials.
