A man in western China’s Shaanxi Province has been detained by local police after a surveillance video clip lately exposed online shows him crazily beating a boy on the street-side.

The clip, believed to have come from surveillance video dated this Monday evening, showed the boy, who was sweeping the ground then aside a street in Yan’an City, was suddenly kicked by the man walking by.

He didn’t stop after the boy fell to the ground but continued to stamp on the boy’s body violently and used the broom and dustpan to strike his head. The attack lasted for about a minute and didn’t stop until people from a nearby store rushed out to help the victim.

A local hospital reportedly said the boy was now conscious but he would still undergo a series of exams to rule out the possibility of brain hemorrhage since he suffered head injuries.

The child was left alone there to learn how to clean the ground while his parents were looking after business in their store nearby.

Local police said the assailant has been detained. He used to suffer mental disorders and he would be examined for his mental conditions at time of the attack, police said.
