This is the shocking moment a woman randomly attacks a child before a bystander stepped in to deliver instant retribution.
Surveillance footage shows a mother casually walking with her daughter on a sidewalk in Brazil as the assailant approaches them from the opposite direction.
The woman suddenly extends her arm and smacks the girl in the face as they pass each other in broad daylight.
The mother prepares to retaliate when her frightened daughter pulls her back just as the wild woman took another swing at them but this time missing.

However, a man who witnessed the attack, did not hold back and bolted toward the woman, kicking her in the mid-section.
The woman immediately falls to the ground and the man tries to kick her three more times, but only connects once.
She then admonishes the man and appears ready to fight him, too, when a female bystander intervenes.
Other onlookers can be seen checking on the well-being of the mother and her daughter.
Social media users sided with the man’s decision for coming to the aid of the defenseless mother and child.

‘That was appropriate,’ one person said.
Another chimed in: ‘she got what she deserves.’
One person claimed that the man’s response should have been harsher.
‘Wasn’t good enough if you ask me,’ they claimed.
This is only the latest instance of instant karma.
A video surfaced earlier this week showing the moment a woman and her friend got served instant karma after throwing eggs at a house.
Footage of the incident has circulated across social media as two women quickly threw eggs and other items at a car parked in a the driveway of a Detroit, Michigan, home.
As they fled the scene, one of the women frantically drove a black SUV past a stop sign and crashed into an oncoming car.
Another similar incident occurred when the owner of a lifted Chevy pickup truck confidently drove straight into a ditch on a flooded dirt road in Texas, but was quickly caught out.

A concerned bystander attempted to do her best to warn the driver but stood by and recorded the incident on her phone as he refused to take her advice.
At the start of the clip, the truck appears to plow through the deep puddle with no problem at all.
But suddenly, the front end takes a dive into a massive trench concealed by the accumulated water. There was a giant splash before the truck completely stopped moving and got stuck in the mud.
‘I tried to tell him,’ the woman behind the camera said once it was clear the vehicle wasn’t going anywhere.
