THIS is the horrific moment a father is caught on CCTV repeatedly stamping on a seven-year-old child's HEAD -- because he thought he was bullying his son.

Amnat Salubthong, 43, ran down five flights of stairs from his apartment when he thought the other boy was picking on his four-year-old.

The sickening footage shows him kick the lad away, then stamp on his head three times as he cowers on the ground.

He then picks up his own son and delivers another savage kick at the shaking youngster before walking back up stairs to his home in Bangkok, Thailand.

Amnat handed himself in to police after the clip was posted online and seen by cops who began investigating.

Saowaluck Suwanmanee of Khanna Yao police said: ''Amnat Salubthong has visited the police station and admitted the assault.

''He said that he ran down from his fifth floor apartment because he heard that his son was crying.

"He thought that he was being bullied.

''Amnat admitted attacking the child. He said that he could not control his rage.

''We are currently checking the CCTV recordings before we charge the man.

"We have to talk to the family of the other child.''

The outraged parents of the victim said he has been terrified since the attack, suffering from vomiting and blurred vision.

His father told police that his boy had only been trying to comfort the other toddler who was crying.

He was treated by doctors at a local hospital where he was described as ''shaken and disturbed''.

A security guard at the apartment block said the seven-year-old boy, who has not been named, suffered cuts and bruises to his face.

He said: ''I couldn't believe what I had seen on the camera.

''The young boys were just playing together like all children do. There are no excuses for that kind of behaviour.''

Child protection officers are being called in to check the condition of both kids.
