The Egyptian Public Prosecution announced Sunday that it has concluded investigations into a social media video showing a young boy driving a car and assaulting a policeman who tried to stop him. The Public Prosecution requested that the police conduct preliminary investigations into the video, which resulted in the identifying the assaulted police officer, the child, and the owner of the car, through the license plates. The policeman made his statement to the prosecution that on October 26, he was notified that a young boy was awkwardly driving a car in Zahraa al-Maadi. While being interrogated by the prosecution, the child driver explained that the car he was in was owned by his father’s friend. He denied giving the child any permission to drive his car and presented his contract of ownership to the Public Prosecution.
