The teen suffered grazes and bruises to his face.
North Belfast Alliance Councillor Nuala McAllister said: "I must condemn this disturbing incident and I hope the victim is able to make a full recovery from this ordeal.
"This blatant violation of a teenager's human rights cannot become common place in North Belfast, which the majority want to remain as a welcoming place, open to everyone.
