Chilling footage has done the rounds on social media of a knife-wielding middle-age woman randomly stabbing a three-year-old boy in Pekini Street, which is a bustling retail area in Tbilisi, Georgia.
The boy was holding his mother’s hand when the sickening attack happened.
The woman is seen to walk past the boy and his mother before she turns round and stabs the boy twice in the face.
After the initial attack, the mother is left visibly stunned. The knife-wielding woman then turns back and attempts to stab a young girl in the face before she is warded off by the girl’s father. The father runs at the 51-year-old woman until she flashes the blade at him, which stops him in his tracks.
