This is the moment when an elderly man appears to touch a 14-month-old baby in a shop inappropriately and is physically assaulted by the baby’s father, who is standing behind him in the queue to pay.
The father, whose name was not disclosed, had taken his baby to a supermarket for shopping in the south-eastern Turkish city of Adana.
During their visit, a 65-year-old man, whose name was not disclosed, entered the supermarket and reportedly touched various parts of the baby’s body.
In response to this, the father, who said that the elderly man had molested his baby, proceeded to attack him.
The store owner intervened to prevent further violence, as the father struck the elderly man with punches and slaps.
The incident was filmed on camera by the CCTV of the supermarket, which showed the store owner escorting the elderly man out of the supermarket. Simultaneously, the father followed the elderly man, holding an object he had picked up inside the store to carry on the attack.
Local media reported that, beyond the camera’s view, the elderly man allegedly pulled a knife in the direction of the father.
The altercation came to an end with the store employee’s intervention.
As of now, it remains unclear whether the father has reported the situation to the authorities and if an investigation was initiated following the incident.
The video, which was shared on social media, has stirred strong emotions among netizens, leading to an outpouring of anger as people said the video clearly showed the old man was a pervert.
Hakan Balta said: “Parents who share their children’s photos on social media for likes should watch this video carefully. There are millions of these elderly perverts roaming the streets.”
Blues Ahmet expressed shock, saying: “He is molesting the child without any concern! I can’t believe it! And right in front of the father.”
