A five-year-old boy was injured after two unknown miscreants attacked a family of four travelling by car in Kasavanahalli, Southeast Bengaluru, on Wednesday (October 30) night.
Anoop George, a techie driving the car, said that his wife and two children were returning home after last-minute Deepavali shopping at the time.
“Two men, who were on a two-wheeler, stopped my car, asked to roll down the window, and without any provocation, hit the rear window glass with a piece of rock,” George, 39, told DH.
“Both my children were in the back seat. My five-year-old boy had to undergo three stitches on the forehead, while my 11-year-old girl is traumatised from the incident and so are we.”
The incident occurred around 9.30 pm. When George and his wife confronted the two following the attack, he said they ran away. Some passersby had also gathered at the spot.
A video shared by George on X showed the moment the two suspects attacked the car.
George then went to the nearby Aarogya Hastha Hospital for treatment and called the police. Patrolmen arrived at the spot and took stock of the situation.
On Thursday (October 31) morning, George filed a complaint with the Parappana Agrahara police.
“Suspects have been identified and very serious action will be taken,” the Parappana Agrahara police posted on X.
