Earlier, a video of an elderly man hitting a child in the face went viral on social media.

According to the press service of the Children’s Ombudsman, this happened on June 30. An elderly man living in the Mirzo-Ulugbek district was walking on the street with his 4-year-old grandson. During the walk, the boy ran away, finding himself far from the place where he was walking with his grandfather. After the man found him, he hit his grandson in the face several times.

A pre-investigation check is being carried out on this fact. A forensic medical examination has been ordered.
