The horrific incident took place in Huainan, China, following a dispute between the attacker and a shopkeeper.
Rather than attempting to settle the disagreement, the man took his anger out on the shopkeeper’s son and threw the tiny toddler metres high into the air.
The child was reportedly treated for serious injuries at a nearby hospital following the incident.
The footage has since gone viral around the world, prompting calls for the man to face the consequences of his actions.
He is reportedly not yet facing charges in relation to the attack, but the evidence in the video has led to many hoping that he will soon be questioned and, hopefully, be arrested for the crime.
The incident follows a similar incident last year in Beijing, though the child sadly did not survive its injuries.
The alleged attacker named as Han Lei was sentenced to death after getting into a dispute with a woman over a parking space. He reportedly took the woman’s child out of its pram and threw them across the car park. The child later died from its injuries.
We hope that the toddler in this case makes a full recovery.
