Vigilantes hog-tied an alleged thief in Brazil before throwing him onto an anthill.
Locals allegedly caught the youngster trying to rob a nearby home.
Shocking footage shows the youngster unable to move his arms or legs.
He is then picked up and dropped straight onto the insects' nest.
With the critters biting his body, the crowd does nothing but watch him scream out in agony.
The incident is believed to have happened in the Dirceu neighbourhood of the northern city of Teresina.
The 80-second video was posted to YouTube by Apoio Policial organization.
