Egyptian security forces in Cairo arrested a juvenile who attacked another child by inserting a car key into his skull, causing severe injury, according to a security source. The source reported that the authorities detected a post on Facebook regarding a child bullying another. When the latter refused to be bullied, the accused child assaulted him by inserting a car key into the victim's head and fled the scene.
Investigations revealed that the Helwan Police Station received a report from an individual residing in the area, accusing a 13-year-old student named Moaz Eissa of assaulting his son, 14-year-old Hassan Sherif, using a car key during their playtime together. The incident resulted in the victim suffering a skull fracture, prompting his transfer to the hospital in critical condition for treatment.
The source noted that this was the same incident that circulated on Facebook. It was confirmed that the legal procedures were followed, leading to the arrest of the accused child. During questioning, the accused admitted to the assault, and he was referred to the prosecution for further investigation.
The South Cairo Prosecution ordered that the "child" be placed in a care facility for a week to correct his behavior after he assaulted a neighbor and inserted a car key into his head, resulting in injury.
The victim's mother recounted the incident, stating that her son was attacked by their neighbor in Helwan, who injured him by stabbing him with keys in his head. She explained that the assailant lived on the same street as them and provoked her son with some words; when her son approached him, he assaulted him with a chain containing seven keys, piercing one of the keys into his skull, causing a laceration in the brain and bleeding. Her son is currently receiving healthcare in the hospital.
She added that the assailant had participated in the "Voice Kids" program and was known for having family issues with relatives. She urged prayers for her son's deteriorating health, stating he is still in intensive care in the hospital.
