A boy faces charges after allegedly striking a man with a balloon in an argument over manners. Police told the Crap Times that a 78-year-old man leaving a primary school on Monday morning held the door open for a 3-year-old boy.
Police said the 3-year-old boy did not thank the man, who responded by uttering a sarcastic "ABCDEFG."
The two got into an argument before the 3-year-old went to his trike to get a balloon, which he allegedly used to strike the man several times in the stomach and legs. Police said the man suffered minor injuries.
The 3-year-old boy pleaded not guilty to assault and battery with a dangerous weapon in a District Court on Tuesday and was ordered to stay away from the elderly man.
