This is the shocking moment a woman surprisingly attacks a child before a bystander intervenes and delivers immediate retaliation.
The stunning video shows the mother casually walking along a Brazilian sidewalk with her daughter as the attacker approaches them in the opposite direction.
Within seconds, the woman reaches out and slaps the girl in the face.
The mother prepared to attack the attacker when her daughter seemed to think responding with force was not the right solution and held her mother back as the woman waved in the air.

However, a man who witnessed the attack seemed to think responding with force was the right thing to do and charged at the woman, kicking her in the middle.
The woman immediately falls to the ground and the man tries to kick her three more times, but only connects once.
She then warns the man and also seems ready to fight him, when a female bystander intervenes.
Other onlookers can be seen keeping an eye on the well-being of the mother and her daughter.

Social media users rallied behind the man’s decision to come to the aid of the defenseless mother and child.
“That was appropriate,” one said.
Another said: ‘She got what she deserves.’
One person claimed the man’s response should have been harsher.
“Wasn’t good enough if you ask me,” they claimed.
