Shocking moment man 'caught trying to rape eight-year-old girl' was stripped naked and paraded through town to shame him

A man who was allegedly caught in the act of trying to rape an eight-year-old girl was stripped naked and then forced to walk around the community to publicly shame him.

The incident happened in the neighbourhood of Santa Brigida in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Images of his walk of shame show the naked young man, who is yet to be identified, being pulled by a rope for eight blocks before his captors hand him over to the police. 

Once at the police car, a policewoman takes the rope off, handcuffs him and bundles him still naked into the police car, whilst people gather round and shout insults at him. 'Next time we will kill you', one man can be heard shouting, whilst a woman says: 'Degenerate! Tie him to the back of the car.' 

The images were uploaded by some of the locals on social media with the caption: 'The neighbours of the community have done justice when we apprehended a criminal who was about to rape a little girls of just 8 years, and we handed him over to police who we hope will get justice for the innocent girl.'

There is no news yet as to what action the authorities will take against the man or what evidence locals had to humiliate him as they did. Dailymail
