Rabat - The police are reportedly investigating the two Swedish security guards who were filmed slamming a Moroccan nine-year-old boy’s head into a stone floor at the main station in Malmö, Sweden.
According to The Local, Linda Pleym, a spokesperson for Skåne police, told Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet that "they are suspected of assault and will be questioned on that matter."
The same source added that Anders Lönnebo, the CEO of the security company Svensk Bevakningstjänst, which employed the guards, admitted on Monday that the incident “didn’t look good on camera”.
Cecilia Granath, spokeswoman for the train station Jernhusen, told The Local on Monday that her company contacted the security guard to account for the incident.
“We have a zero-tolerance policy towards excessive violence,” she said.
In the video, published on YouTube, a security guard weighing approximately 90 kilos sat on the boy’s chest and pressed his gloved hand violently over the boy’s mouth and nose.
The guard slammed the boy’s head against the stone floor, while the child struggled to recite the Shahadah (declaration of faith).
