“Make way” someone shouted before the guard collided with the little boy.
While the shocked people watching this gasped as the boy fell and the guards marched on, the boy could be seen immediately pulling himself up on his feet. He looked unhurt.
The boy was in the UK on a holiday with his family, the caption of the video posted to TikTok mentioned.
The viral video had various users posting reactions in the comments section, with some asking who was in the wrong, according to The Sun report.
Some said the guards could have used common sense and avoided hitting the child.
The report shared one of the comments that read: “That child isn’t dangerous…there was no reason to do that.”
Another user said: “To all the people saying they’re just doing their job. If your job involves trampling children therein lies the problem.”
A third viewer posted: “It wouldn’t kill the guard to walk around the child…”
