Shocking footage has emerged of a young boy running riot and jumping on a moving baggage carousel while throwing luggage on the ground at Melbourne airport.
The child, who was filmed by another traveller, was seen leaping onto the conveyor belt and sprinting around the carousel, while a woman – presumed to be his mother – yelled at him to get down.
A crowd of astonished airport-goers stood in disbelief while they waited for their luggage, while the boy could also be seen throwing other people’s bags to the ground.
“Get off, get down now!” the woman yelled at him, as he responded “no” and continued to jump around the moving carousel.
Others felt sympathy for the child’s mother in the situation, while many stated that they would never have got away with such an act when they were kids.
“Toughest thing as a parent. Everyone expects you to control them, but [you] can’t use any of the methods your parents’ generation used,” one wrote.
“My dad back in the day would’ve thrown his suitcase at me and then given me a hiding after that,” another joked.
