The woman and her partner started yelling at the boy for what he had done, when the boy’s relatives appeared, up to eight people who after an argument and exchange of bad words started beating Chanan Aksornnan, punching and kicking him on the ground.
The owner of the animal complained on social networks that the police, once on the scene, did not pay much attention to her and that they believed the version of the aggressor family, who claimed that the cat had attacked the child in the first place.
The NYPD issued a statement with the preliminary version of events, which are under investigation.
