A man and teenager have been charged over the bashing of a boy in South Australia's Port Augusta.

On Monday morning a 45-year-old Port Augusta man and a 14-year-old Stirling North boy assaulted a teenage boy known to them.

Video circulated on social media shows the teen attacker egged on by the older man as the victim is hit and kicked while on the ground.

Police say the teen, who was unhurt, knew his attackers. Media reports say the attackers are father and son.

The man was bailed to appear in the Port Augusta Magistrates Court on January 2 while the teen was bailed to appear in the Port Augusta Youth Court the next day.
