A 21-year-old man from Sichuan province was detained by police for 15 days after brutally attacking a seven-year-old boy on a bus.
The incident occurred at about 11am on April 27 when the young boy surnamed Guo went home by himself on a bus in Suining in Sichuan, China News Service reported. The lad was reportedly being noisy on the bus and lightly kicked a strange man three times for fun.
As seen on the video clip, the man, also surnamed Guo, suddenly became enraged – grabbing the boy and throwing him down on to the floor, then stomping on him three times in revenge.
He was stopped by other passengers, who called the police. The man ended up being detained for 15 days and fined 1,000 yuan (US$157) for attacking someone aged under 14.
The boy was sent to hospital. The left side of his face was injured but he was fortunate not to suffer any bone fracture. Police added that if the boy is found to have more injuries, the attacker could face a heavier penalty, according to a statement.
The attacker later told Chongqing Evening News he had offered the boy his seat on the bus but the boy ignored him. He admitted that he had lost his mind after being kicked by the lad. He apologized to the victim and his family and said he would pay the boy’s medical expenses.
Most Chinese citizens who commented on the incident on social media criticized the man’s reckless and violent behavior, but others blamed the boy’s parents for having not taught him to have better manners while riding on a public vehicle.
The boy’s mother told media that her son was well-behaved at home and had performed extremely well at school. The boy’s father said he would sue the attacker.
The boy is only 7 yrs. Old bullying a grown man, wait till he grows up..
the child does not have manners if his parents are around his parents who should be punished for being negligent
Hey… that is just a kid man…!!! That kid is still innocent… but atleast that man has some sense… he should have let it go… maybe chage the sit or some where away from that kid but that man attacking that poor kid is not really good… and you people… stop blaming the parents okay… kids are innocent and they love to fool around… poeple before saying sth think twice before…. Its glad to hear there isn’t any bon bone fractures….
شکیل احمد I don’t think the man’s aggression was bad.. U never know what the man himself is going through… And may be its a lesson for the kid.. Or he might have continued it to future since his parents had no idea about it… And yeah fack ya too
Wew lucky child… If it was me I’d throw him from the bus… U don’t mess someone in depression.. And if his dad sued me… I’d sue him back for suing me…. Fack ya
شکیل احمد not that hard but yes I would do same.. .
Someone got to teach how to behave right. .
Its good the boy kicked a man…
If same behavior with dog or some violent deadly animal happened boy wouldn’t be alive.. .
Its better learned lesson in hard way than getting life threatening situation later…
And also its natural process the elder teaches surviving skills and behavior to young people…
Not in this way but done by specially by parents
even in primitive world its done.
Let it be a lesson for the kids and the boy
Blame both of them…
Zippy Zap True, the boy might get kill or worst with no attacker just got accident
