In a tragic and shocking incident, an eight-year-old child was brutally attacked in the Ouled Tayeb area of Fes on Thursday evening, January 23. A man, claiming to suffer from a mental disorder, struck the child on the head with a large rock as the child was heading to the local grocery store. The attack caused severe head bleeding, prompting immediate intervention from the child’s mother, who was horrified upon hearing the news.
The police quickly arrived at the scene, while an ambulance was en route to take the child to the hospital for necessary treatment. This incident sheds light on the increasing number of mentally ill individuals in the streets, posing a serious threat to passersby. These individuals, once a common sight in public places, have now become a direct danger to citizens’ safety, particularly vulnerable children, who are at risk of random attacks.
Local authorities and concerned parties are now called upon to take more decisive action to protect lives and secure residential areas from this growing issue that threatens community safety.
