A four-year-old girl was hospitalised with an eye socket injury after a larger boy pushed her off the top of a slide.
Shocking CCTV footage shows the boy giving the girl a forceful shove in the back, sending her tumbling face-first to the ground.
She landed around five feet below at a sickening angle before slowly sitting herself up as adults rushed over to help.

Meanwhile, the boy slid down and ran across the playground as if nothing had happened.
The incident took place in Hanoi, Vietnam, on Sunday (7 Jun), leaving the girl with a swollen eye and in distress.
Her parents rushed her to a local hospital, where she was kept in for treatment and observation due to an eye socket injury, as reported by Need To Know.
The boy who pushed her had been taken to the playground by his older brother, who reportedly told the girl’s family that his sibling was “special, had psychological issues, and could not speak”.
One of the girl’s relatives said on Tuesday (9 Jun): “The police have now found the family of the boy who pushed my child…
“The case is still being handled by the police.
“Currently, my child is still under treatment and close observation by doctors. There is still no final conclusion as the injury is in a critical area.
“All our worries are focused on her. We hope she will be safe.”
The girl’s father, N.A., wrote online: “The child who pushed my daughter is autistic.
“We all know that autistic children often have more difficulty controlling emotions and behaviour than normal.
“When your child is special, parents and family members must be responsible for watching them closely every second.”
