The education secretary says an alleged bullying incident in which an 11-year-old boy lost a finger is "sickening" - as he spoke of his own bullying ordeal as a child.
Nadhim Zahawi told Sky News he was determined to "stamp out" racism in schools after youngster Raheem Bailey had his finger amputated following an alleged attack by a group of children in South Wales.
The 54-year-old cabinet minister said he was bullied and racially abused himself after he moved to the UK from Iraq as a child.
In one incident, he said he was thrown in a pond by bullies who then "dunked" his head under the water as "entertainment".
