Woman randomly slashes 3-year-old boy's face with knife in front of his parents

The little boy was holding his mother's hand when the incident happened...

In a horror attack, a woman on a street randomly slashed a 3-year-old boy’s face with a knife, in front of his parents. She then attempted to slash at his sibling’s face.

In fact, the little boy was holding his mother’s hand when the incident happened.

Stranger Attacks Child, Slashes His Face With Knife

The attack took place in Tbilisi, Georgia and video footage of the incident has gone viral. The culprit has now been arrested.

Footage shows the parents walking with their two young children on Pekini street, when the 51-year-old approaches the 3-year-old boy and slashes his face, leaving his parents clueless and horrified.

She then marches back, but returns, only to go after the second child.

The father runs at this mad woman but backs away, when she threatens him with the knife.

According to news reports, the boy was rushed to hospital by ambulance, where he was treated for cuts to his nose and cheek.

The woman apparently fled the scene then, but soon got arrested. She has been charged with intentional infliction of grave injury to the health of a minor and faces up to ten years in prison. The boy’s parents said they had never met her before, and didn’t know the motive for the attack.

Here is the video of this incident:
