This is the shocking moment a Buddhist monk repeatedly kicks a disabled man in the head - for playing with his son. <br /><br />Phra Sathit, 38, was seen on CCTV wearing orange robes as he chased the victim, Nok, 30, and punched him in the head. <br /><br />The monk knocked the mentally handicapped man to the ground then kicked him in the head four times before frog-marching him back into the wooden hut.<br /><br />Nok’s outraged mother complained about the attack at the temple in Samut Prakan, Thailand, on April 8, and the monk was dragged in for questioning.<br /><br />He told Buddhist officials that he attacked Nok after he was ‘’too rough’’ when he had been playing with his six-year-old son earlier in the day.<br /><br />He said: ‘’My son will ordain as a monk in the summer and he was hurt by the way that he was playing with him. I was angry and couldn’t control myself.’’<br /><br />Nok’s mother agreed not to pursue the case against the monk if he transferred to a different temple away from the area.<br /><br />Phra Sathit has now been moved 50 miles away to a religious building in Chonburi province in eastern Thailand. <br /><br />The abbot, Phra Adisak, who disciplined the attacker, said: ‘’The young novice monk admitted what happened based on what we saw in the CCTV clip. He said he had a short temper and apologised. <br /><br />‘’He has been a monk for two years now and done a lot of good work constantly renovating the temple. But this was unacceptable and he has agreed to leave.’’<br /><br />The incident was later reported to police in the Phra Pradaeng District who said today they would investigate it after it received attention in local media.
