A 54-year-old woman was recently arrested by the Katlehong police after she allegedly assaulted a young boy.
The incident was reported to the police by the boy’s father who told officers that his six-year-old son had been playing outside in the street when he was approached by the accused.
“She began to beat the little boy, without reason, the father claimed,” explained Capt Mega Ndobe, corporate communications official for the Katlehong police.
The young victim was taken to a local hospital for treatment, after the incident, for his swollen and bleeding face.
The woman was arrested and charged with assault with the intent to cause grievous bodily harm and will appear in the Palm Ridge Magistrate’s Court soon.
