A homeless man, who has been hospitalised for 18 days, was brutally beaten by the father of a child who accidentally bumped into him while he was sleeping on the street.

The attack was captured by security cameras and shows how the attacker reacted disproportionately and began to beat him.

According to witnesses and images, the attack was triggered when a minor told the attacker where the homeless man was. The community has expressed its outrage at this act and has asked the authorities to intervene to clarify the facts and guarantee justice for the victim.

However, doubts have also been raised about the full version of events, suggesting there could be more to the story than what is seen on the footage.

The victim is still receiving medical care after nearly three weeks in hospital.
