Police would like to thank Kiwis for standing up and reporting a horrific video of a mother assaulting her children, despite not being a New Zealand matter.
In July, a Saudi Arabia mother was arrested after she beat and tortured her 6-month-old twin girls on camera for money.
Footage ofthe assaults on the babies being slapped and strangled ignited outrage, including from New Zealanders, when it was uploaded to the internet.
A spokeswoman for the police told the Herald they had received multiple reports about the video.
"Police have received multiple reports today regarding a video that originated in Saudi Arabia," she said.
"Thanks to all who messaged us regarding that extremely upsetting video currently circulating social media," the post reads.
"We can confirm the person responsible has been arrested and this happened earlier in the year in Saudi Arabia. It appears to have gone viral again sadly."
