The incident occurred yesterday, 21/12, at 1:30 PM on Tran Quang Khai street, within the Ngoc Bao Vien urban area, in the old center of Quang Ngai city.
The three boys, aged seven to eight, were riding an electric scooter together near a cafe when a man, wearing a black shirt and shorts, pursued them on a motorbike. He knocked their scooter over and then repeatedly struck them with a stick. Despite the boys' attempts to evade him, he continued the assault.
Upon seeing the welts and bruises on their children's legs, arms, and thighs, the parents shared the incident on social media before filing a report with the Cam Thanh Ward Police.
Family members reported that the boys were playing together, with two of them fishing at the ecological lake in the Ngoc Bao Vien urban area. The mother of one boy stated, "Our children were not fishing on his property; we do not understand why they were beaten."
The Cam Thanh Ward Police are currently investigating the incident.
