A Syrian refugee who was filmed having water poured on his face and being pushed to the ground in a viral video has urged people to not attack the alleged bully behind his suffering.
Footage of the incident went viral earlier this week and has since been watched millions of times. However the boy at the centre of the alleged attack known as Jamal, has said he wants no violence to be aimed at the bully following the incident at the school in Huddersfield.
Online abuse has been directed at the alleged 16-year-old perpetrator and a solicitor representing Jamal said he and his family have been alarmed by the violent threats they have seen online against the alleged attackers.

15-year-old Jamal said: 'I am very concerned about the violent comments going out on social media about the bully. I don't want anything terrible to happen to him at all. I just don't want anything bad to happen to anyone.'
Meanwhile his lawyer, Tasnime Akunjee said Jamal has become concerned that other children could be harmed.
'It is a shocking video. But some people are calling for the bully to be bullied and that is certainly not what this boy or any of his family want. He just wishes this never happened and that none of the bullying ever took place. This is the mature attitude with which he has conducted himself even while being bullied.'
The incident at Almondbury community school, which occurred on 25 October has attracted widespread condemnation which has led to a police guard being stationed outside the home of the alleged attacker.

Despite the furore surrounding the video, far-right campaigner Tommy Robinson had claimed that Jamal had previously attacked two schools girls and has posted screenshots of messages from a mother claiming her daughter had been bullied.

However, the mother later posted a message on Robinson's page denying that it was Jamal who had allegedly attacked her daughter.
Jamal's lawyer confirmed that the family are planning to take legal action against Robinson.
In a letter to Robinson, Akunjee demanded that 'defamatory' videos posted online relating to Jamal be removed immediately.
It said: 'We have been made aware of two videos posted to your Facebook page … these videos contain a number of false and defamatory allegations in respect of our client.
'We wish to place you on notice that our client intends to pursue legal action against you in respect of the contents of these publications.'
Robinson has since retracted false claims that 'Muslim gangs' had attacked a white boy at a school where bullies waterboarded a 15-year-old Syrian refugee.

Local councillor, Bernard McGuin, revealed that Jamal had previously wrote to authorities in a desperate plea for help, just three weeks before the alleged attack.
McGuin said Jamal emailed him listing a series of 'incidents and allegations' at the school.
Jamal told the councillor he had written to Almondbury community school, West Yorkshire police, Kirklees education services, Ofsted and the Department for Education on 4 October, asking for help but that no action had been taken.
McGuin, who represents Almondbury on Kirklees council, said: 'It was a list of allegations which he said had happened in the school. He said the police and the school had not helped him. He felt nobody could help him.'
He said protocol had been followed and that he had contacted a senior party member who told him to refer the matter to Kirklees council's director of children's services, Steve Walker.
He said he received an email on 5 November from the Department for Education which said the case was being dealt with.
The local MP for the town Barry Sheerman has also tweeted his support for Jamal and his family.
On Thursday afternoon about 30 protesters took part in a peaceful demonstration outside the school organised by the Huddersfield Pakistani Community Alliance.
Jamal and his father made an appearance at the protest and thanked the community for their support.
Speaking at his home, Jamal told the Guardian he and his sister would not be returning to the school.
Since Tuesday, new footage has now emerged that is said to show Jamal's sister being physically abused at the same school.
The video shows a girl being pushed towards a grass verge. At the end of the clip she falls to the ground.
Akunjee confirmed Jamal's 14-year-old sister had been bullied by another group of pupils, and last week someone had forcibly removed her hijab. On Tuesday a girl was excluded from the school over that incident.

This is while West Yorkshire police said a 16-year-old boy had been interviewed in connection with the Jamal incident and would be charged with assault. They are separately investigating the incident involving his sister.
The family came to Huddersfield two years ago after fleeing persecution under the Bashar al-Assad regime in Syria.
A fundraising page for Jamal and his family has received more than £148,000 in donations since it was launched on Tuesday night and the family has said they will use the money to relocate.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
