An allegation of police brutality has blown up social media.

The father of a 19-year-old boy wrote a post on social networks that his son was beaten by four police officers during off-duty hours.

The case is from February 11, according to the father - at 4 o'clock at night in front of a disco in Pleven, Nova TV reported.

The boy was attacked on his way out of the establishment, and according to the father's account, he was beaten until he fell unconscious.

They stop beating him only when he swallows his tongue and begins to die, the father wrote.

The security of the establishment intervened and saved his life.

An internal investigation has started in the system of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Officially - to our inquiry, they answered that the Regional Directorate in Pleven has been contacted and is conducting an investigation.

"They are police officers and they are from the rapid response unit," said the father of the 19-year-old injured boy - Konstantin Nedyalkov.

He said that the policemen were celebrating in a neighboring establishment next to that of his son and his friend.

The two boys had a conflict with another group of their peers.

"But this is different from the conflict with the policemen, who intervene and thus start a fight with them," explained the father. 

He claims that there was no fight between the two groups of boys that provoked the intervention of the police.

"They just came and started to dispense justice," he also claimed.
