Thanks to Vyacheslav Samoilov, 32, who began filming as an argument with wife Victoria, 30, escalated, the police are now investigating the attempted murder of an 18-month-old baby.

The video appears to show her feigning to stamp on the 18-month-old child’s head while shouting into the camera in a park in Naginsk, near Moscow.

The film has since been passed on to police and social services are looking into the incident.

However, the baby wasn’t injured.

According to eyewitness Ludmila Ignatyeva, 43, told Russian television channel HTB: “I saw them arguing and the woman threw the baby on the ground then pretended to trample on it. The man fled in one direction and the woman ran in the other and the child was left on the ground.”
