Police in Kraaifontein have arrested a teenager for the alleged assault of his grandmother. The arrest comes after the disturbing video which shows the pensioner being beaten went viral on social media.
The disturbing incident, which occurred a month ago, has prompted widespread outrage and led to swift action by the authorities.
In the video, the grandson is seen allegedly assaulting the grandmother with his open arm, leading to a pot containing what appears to be porridge, spilling over. The grandson allegedly beats the grandmother so hard that she drops to the floor.
The victim, a resident of Wallacedene in Kraaifontein, was found receiving treatment in the hospital for an ailment unrelated to the assault.
Despite the grandmothers refusal to submit a statement, police investigations uncovered that the assault took place in June at the victim's home.
