His mother shared that he is in a lot of pain. 

'(He has) pain to his head and shoulder from being hit with the crate, and he was kicked and hit with soda cans and punched in his face repeatedly,' the boy's mother, Valerie Prince, said to CBS 2.

She said the attack was unprovoked. 

'He said they came in right away and started beating on him, calling him all types of names,' Prince added.
