Was just in a clothes shop at a retail park browsing when I saw a boy of about 11 violently kick the shin of an adult man (who was clearly with him, whether his dad or not I obviously can't know), and then punch the man in the small of the back. The boy's face was flushed and angry; clearly this wasn't play fighting but something felt. I couldn't see the man's face as he had his back to me by this point but he said to the boy in a calm voice 'that was shit, you need to work on that' and then kicked the boy hard in the shin. Obviously both were wearing shoes and each kick was right to the front of the shin and strong, so the kicks would have been painful. Is this a situation that merits any action?
