Q13 has the story:

A West Seattle teen is still recovering after a savage hate filled attack. It happened near 14th Avenue Southwest and Southwest Holden Street as the boy was walking home. The victim told Police he was beaten and robbed because of his color.

The teen's father Tim McClellan spoke exclusively with Q13 Fox News.

"He went to hand him a light and they attacked him, knocked him down right there," said McClellan.

Looking at the pictures of his son in a hospital bed isn't easy for Tim.

"Beat him for 4 hours, beat him, whipped him, burned him with cigarettes," said McClellan.

In pain and still fearful Tim's son Shane wasn't up for talking to us. But, his dad told us his story. Shane was walking home from a friend's house in Highland Park around 2 AM Tuesday when he was tortured along a trail.

According to Tim his son was beaten for well over an hour on a staircase near the trail. He says the thugs put Shane's face into the steps and put a gun to the back of his head.

"You know cocked the weapon and told him as they were burning him, if he made any noise they were going to blow his head off," said McClellan.
