More than $157,000 has been raised for a Syrian refugee who was "waterboarded" by a bully at a UK school.

Video of the incident went viral on Tuesday, with footage showing 15-year-old Jamal being taunted by another student before he is wrestled to the ground.

The aggressor then grabs Jamal's neck and pours a bottle of water over his face. "I'll drown you," the aggressor is heard saying.
