WATCH: Disturbing video shows man beating child on school bus
Family's plea for assistance to identify 9-year-old's attacker
A video showing an unidentified man beating a young boy with a belt on a Zululand school bus has sparked outrage online.
The video was shared on YouTube by popular crime network page ‘Police Pics and Clips’ and shows the man first confronting the nine-year-old child before taking his belt and repeatedly striking him all over his body.
On-board CCTV cameras captured the entire ordeal which occurred on 10 August somewhere in the Empangeni/Richards Bay area.
The post on Facebook was accompanied with a plea from parents that anyone with information come forward to assist in identifying the man.
The post was shared 887 times by noon today.
The Zululand Observer is currently attempting to reach the parents of the child, while the school principal has declined to comment.
It is believed the incident was sparked when a child on the bus threw an object out of the bus window, reportedly smashing the man’s car windscreen.
