A woman randomly attacks a child before a bystander stepped in to deliver instant retribution.
HOW IT ALL STARTED
A mother casually walking with her daughter on a sidewalk in Brazil as the assailant approaches them from the opposite direction.
The woman suddenly extends her arm and smacks the girl in the face as they pass each other in broad daylight.
The mother prepares to retaliate when her frightened daughter pulls her back just as the wild woman took another swing at them but this time missing.
THE RETRIBUTION
However, a man who witnessed the attack, did not hold back and bolted toward the woman, kicking her in the mid-section.
The woman immediately falls to the ground and the man tries to kick her three more times, but only connects once.
She then admonishes the man and appears ready to fight him, too, when a female bystander intervenes.

Passersby can be seen checking on the well-being of the mother and her daughter.
Social media users sided with the man’s decision for coming to the aid of the defenseless mother and child.
One commenter said, ‘That was appropriate.’
Another wrote: ‘she got what she deserves.’ One person thinks that the man’s response should have been harsher.
