A WOMAN stormed into a primary school in Bera, Pahang, confronted her son’s alleged bully and pinned him to the ground, Sin Chew Daily reported.
A video of the incident shows a woman in pink pinning a boy to the ground with her knee and grabbing the collar of his school uniform.
It allegedly took place at a Chinese vernacular school in Teriang.
Bera OCPD Supt Zulkiflee Nazir confirmed receiving reports of the incident.
“Both parties lodged reports with the police. We recorded their statements. They acknowledged their actions may have been excessive and agreed not to escalate the matter.
“Both parties have agreed to retract the reports,” he said.
Supt Zulkiflee urged Internet users to stop sharing the video as the matter has been resolved amicably.
It was reported that in the video, the woman can be heard repeatedly asking the boy why he had bullied her child.
The boy responded by saying that her son had accused him of being arrogant and admitted that he hit her son with a badminton racquet.
It was also reported that a four-second video had also gone viral online which shows a boy, believed to be the one who was pinned down, beating another boy with a badminton racquet.
Internet users argued that both parties were in the wrong, while others said the mother should not have physically assaulted the alleged bully.
