A 37-year-old Chinese man has been arrested for a savage attack on his young daughter in a supermarket, local media reported.

The incident, which was captured by a surveillance camera in the store in eastern China’s Jiangsu province, shows the father approaching the child, who immediately drops to the floor in apparent anticipation of what is to come. The man then slaps her several times as she tries to protect herself.

Seemingly dissatisfied with the punishment he has so far doled out, the father lifts the child off the floor by her left ankle and violently smashes her first into what looks like a display of large plastic bins, and then into a row of chiller cabinets.

As the youngster cowers on the floor, the man takes a broom from a display and repeatedly beats her with it. The ordeal ends only when a crowd of other shoppers notice the incident and run to intervene.
