The timely intervention prevented the situation from becoming even more serious.

CCTV footage of the incident has surfaced on social media, showing the terrifying attack and the brave efforts of a citizen who rescued the children. Both children were shifted to a nearby hospital, where they are receiving medical treatment. Their condition has not been officially disclosed.

The repeated attacks have raised serious concerns about public safety, with many citizens demanding immediate and long-term measures to prevent further injuries and save lives.
