Bad day for the robot
A group in Pennsylvania went viral after they were filmed attacking and kicking a food delivery robot that had bumped into a young child. The man filming the video showed him walking down the street when he came across a mother and her child confronting a food delivery robot. In the footage, the mother bent down toward the robot and, in a stern voice, said, “And watch out next time you see us.”

As the man continued filming, he asked the woman whether the robot had run into her and her child. She replied, appearing upset, “He ran my baby over.” The robot then tried maneuvering away from the group. In a joking tone, the man called after it, saying, “Don’t run! Don’t hide! Why you try to hide? You just ran into the kid!”
After that, the man and the mother began kicking the food delivery robot several times. Another bystander then joined them and also kicked the robot. Afterward, the man said to the robot, “You should be ashamed of yourself!” The video ended with the group laughing before walking away and leaving the robot behind.
The person who shared the video also included a caption describing the incident. “Keeping the city safe with some street justice. And @Uber Eats you better get your boy before somebody get him and tell him stop running over kids,” they wrote.
