A 37-year-old man from Bosnia and Herzegovina, identified as M.K., has been detained in Zagreb on suspicion of violating a child's rights after allegedly assaulting a 13-year-old boy.

The incident occurred in a Zagreb amusement park. M.K. reportedly believed the boy was responsible for breaking his window by throwing nectarines. Enraged, M.K. confronted a group of boys and struck one of them, the 13-year-old, in the head and back.

The situation escalated until the 13-year-old's grandfather intervened. Police were called to the scene and arrested M.K. Following a criminal investigation, he was charged with abuse of a child's rights.

M.K. was subsequently brought before the prosecutor's office and then a Zagreb County Court investigative judge. The judge ordered him to be held in Remetinec prison. During questioning by investigators, M.K. reportedly admitted to the charges against him.
