A simple squabble between two tots at a shopping centre in eastern China escalated into a violent clash between their parents, a local news website reported.

The incident, which happened on Sunday afternoon in a play area at a mall in Zhenjiang, Jiangsu province, was captured on surveillance cameras and released by Thepaper.cn.

The footage starts with the two girls wrestling over a rope swing. The father of one of the youngsters then appears in the shot, grabs his daughter’s adversary by the back of her party dress and calmly hurls her into a partition wall.

Sitting on the other side of the barrier, however, is the victim’s mother, who immediately clambers over to confront the man. Clearly not averse to using his fists, the man swings a punch at the woman before she even has her feet back on the ground.

As the angle of the shot changes, the woman can be seen landing a blow of her own, before the man grabs her, lifts her off the ground and slams her to the floor.
