8-Year-Old Boy Sitting In McDonald’s Bitten By ‘Little Puppy’ Sized Rat, Angry Dad Approaches Cops
TELANGANA, INDIA: In a shocking incident in the Indian city of Hyderabad, an eight-year-old boy was bitten by a rat inside a McDonald’s. The boy’s father filed a complaint with the police, who registered the case. The incident went viral when the boy’s father shared CCTV footage of the incident which took place in the restaurant on Twitter. Savio Henriques had described the rat as being about the size of a “little puppy”, according to the filed police report.
Henriques had said he had gone to eat at the outlet with his wife and son when the rat ran out of the toilet and came straight for his son, eight-year-old Dwayne. The child screamed in horror as the rat climbed up his leg and bit him. He quickly stepped forward to help his child by picking up the rat and throwing it away before comforting the little boy. According to Times Now, Henriques said the shocking incident left his wife and son mentally scarred and “traumatized”. He also made sure to let it be known that the staff members did nothing to help and just watched what was going on.
