Rihanna’s alleged assault sparks advice video

THE alleged beating of singer Rihanna has inspired an online public service announcement about dating violence.

A new video by the teenage organisation Do Something.org features actors recreating the pop star’s grim, highly publicised confrontation with her boyfriend, singer Chris Brown.

A young man and woman re-enact details from a Los Angeles police affidavit, which claimed that, on February 8, Brown punched, bit and choked Rihanna until she nearly lost consciousness.
