Despite her fall, the teen continued trampling her, prompting a female bystander to intervene and try to stop him.

However, the teen ignored the bystander and repeatedly chased and kicked his mother even as she got up.

Eventually, the property’s security staff intervened to stop the attack and called the police, Southern China Morning Post (SCMP) reported.
