The Shah Alam district police are on the lookout for a lorry driver, after a video of him beating his 5-year-old stepson went viral on social media.
The suspect, aged 30, was seen slapping and twisting the arms of the innocent child while scolding him in 2-minute video, which also saw his mother intervening to help her son out.
Viewer discretion is advised.
According to the Shah Alam Deputy District Police, Ramsay Anak Embol, the mother of the victim, has lodged a report of the incident which occurred in Seksyen 25, Taman Sri Muda.
The video has since gone viral on WhatsApp.
“Based on the footage, it is understood that the suspect has scolded the victim, slapped and twists both of the victim’s arms.”
“The mother has defended the victim from further assault carried out by the suspect.”
According to Ramsay, the couple were together from the beginning of last month.
Let’s hope that justice is served, and the suspect be made an example to avoid future incidences like this.
