The CCTV camera footage within the lift purportedly showed that the minor was afraid and asked the woman with folded hands if she could not bring her pet dog into the lift, but instead the woman asked the boy to leave the lift and pressed the button to the floor she wished to go to.

The woman was seen shoving the young boy and dragging him out of the lift. She then went behind him so that she could allegedly physically harm him without being caught on camera, the report said.
