However, the boy, who was dragged on for several feet, quickly ducked down as the car ran over him; running back to his friends and joins the ongoing football game.
According to CCTV footage, the boy was tying his shoelaces in front of a Wagon R, when a woman got inside the car and without any warning horn, drove over the boy. The eight-year-old, however, acted immediately and lay down on the floor as the car drove over him. The CCTV footage does not show the woman stopping.
The CCTV footage went viral on social media with several people expressing outrage at the inattentiveness of the woman.
The boy's parents reported that he had received minor injuries on the head and knees.
According to a report by Mumbai Mirror, the woman was arrested by the Dindoshi police on Thursday after the boy’s parents filed an FIR. The accused was charged with negligent driving and later let out on bail.
