Bengaluru: A five-year-old boy was injured after two miscreants attacked a family of four travelling by car in Kasavanahalli in southeast Bengaluru on Wednesday night.

Anoop George, a techie driving the car, said that his wife and two children were returning home after last-minute Deepavali shopping. “Two men, who were on a two-wheeler, stopped my car, asked to roll down the window, and without any provocation, hit the rear window glass with a piece of rock,” George told Deccan Herald.

The 39-year-old noted that both his children were in the back seat. His five-year-old son required three stitches on his forehead, while his 11-year-old daughter is left traumatised by the incident, as are the parents.

George went to the nearby hospital for treatment and called the police. He wrote on X that the “goons followed us till the Aarogya Hastha Hospital Kasavanahalli”.

George filed a complaint with the Parappana Agrahara police on Thursday morning. “Suspects have been identified and very serious action will be taken,” the Parappana Agrahara police posted on X.
