Woman assaults child over issue with pet dog in Noida

Only a week ago, a woman in a residential society in Greater Noida, was caught on CCTV cameras assaulting a young boy in a lift, who was scared of her pet dog.

The camera footage within the lift purportedly showed that the minor was afraid and asked the woman with folded hands if she could not bring her pet dog into the lift, but instead the woman asked the boy to leave the lift and pressed the button to the floor she wished to go to.

The woman was seen shoving the young boy and dragging him out of the lift so she could physically harm out of the bounds of the cameras.
