Police arrest 13-year-old girl over claims she 'drop-kicked' a three-year-old boy in a toilet

Mother Jade Scott, 25, said she has been left 'absolutely devastated' by the alleged attack on her young son, Ralph Cavalli, which occurred in the Rushey Green restaurant in Catford, south east London.

She claims the youngster went to the toilet with his older sister Lily but returned crying and 'with marks on his face' after being attacked by the unnamed teenager.

She said she asked her two children what had happened and was told by the youngsters that Ralph was 'drop-kicked' – a wrestling move which sees one fighter leap off the floor and kick the other in the chest with both feet.

The children also reported that the youngster was punched in the face by the teenage girl.

Ms Scott, of Rushey Green, Catford, said she reported the incident to police and the girl was arrested. She has since been released on police bail until December pending further enquiries.
