In Chelyabinsk, Russia, the Investigative Committee has initiated a criminal case against a driver who assaulted a nine-year-old schoolboy on October 24, 2023. The incident occurred when the schoolboy crossed the road at an unauthorized location, prompting the driver of a Kia Rio to exit his vehicle and physically attack the child. Surveillance footage captured the assailant punching the boy twice in the face and delivering a kick before leaving the scene. Following the circulation of this distressing video on social media, the Investigative Committee for the Chelyabinsk region has taken a keen interest in the case, launching an investigation under the charge of hooliganism with the use of violence.
