Angry dad kicks boy at play center

A father who pushed and kicked a boy, 7, for knocking over his 5-year-old daughter's toy bricks at a children's play center on Aug 5 has agreed to pay 8,500 yuan ($1,250) in compensation to the boy's family after police mediation. Surveillance footage shows the man pushing the boy after he knocks down the bricks and then launching a flying kick as the boy is led away. Police were called to handle the confrontation.
