A Georgia 17-year-old is in a medically-induced coma after being attacked nearly a week ago with a pot of boiling rice.

Damon Clay is hospitalized at Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta with burns over about 70 percent of his body. WSB-TV Channel 2 reports that two other teens, Quintavious Barber, 19, and Malik Moton, 18, committed the attack after accusing Clay of stealing a PlayStation 3.

Witnesses said the pair threw the pot of boiling water and rice on Clay as he slept, the news station said. They face charges of aggravated assault and cruelty to a child.
