A 91-second video clip showing a physically abused elderly has gone viral on social media. The old man who could hardly move tried to evade the cruelty of a woman who slapped him with a slipper.
Disrespectful and heartless treatment are just some of the few descriptions of the netizens on the viral video circulating on social media. The old man crawled on the floor to move away from the woman who repeatedly attacked him.
The old man apparently complained to the attacker when he sufferred unbearable pain after the woman hit his head with a book. Prior to this, he was also kicked somewhere on his knee.
It is safe to assume that the suspect could potentially be one of the family members or relative of the elderly man, according to one commenter on Facebook. Others have the same conclusion citing that the surrounding appears to be an extended family setup.
Also in the video, you can hear some people laughing from the background when the old man received the unrestrained assault.
It's not yet known as to why the woman wrongly treated the senior citizen but one thing for sure, the man looks hurt and could have possibly sustained some bruises due to the physical abuse.

Filipino netizens requested the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) to rescue the man. Unfortunately, this incident might have happened elsewhere outside the Philippine territory.
Viewer's discretion is advised. The video is not appropriate to teenagers.
