Appalling CCTV footage captures the horrifying moment a male tourist violently picks up and slams a 2-year-old boy headfirst onto the floor at Moscow’s Sheremetyevo Airport. According to The Daily Mail, the child is now in a coma, fighting for his life with severe skull fractures and spinal injuries. The attacker, identified as 31-year-old Vladimir Vitkov from Belarus, is seen studying the boy, who stood near a suitcase, before glancing around and suddenly launching the unprovoked assault.
