THIS is the terrifying moment a crazed tourist smashed a helpless 18-month-year-old baby boy into the ground at an airport.

The child has been left in a coma with skull fractures and spinal injuries after the horror attack just moments after he arrived in Russia.

Distrubing footage – The Sun has decided not to show – captured the moment the attacker checked to see if anyone was watching before grabbing the child who is stood with his tiny suitcase.

The crazed attacker then picks up the boy and slams into the ground with sickening force.

The little boy’s pregnant mum had left him for just a moment as she collected the pushchair after their flight’s arrival.

It is understood the boy and his mum had arrived in Russia after fleeing Israel and the US’s bombing of Iran.

Russian sources identified the Vladimir Vitkov, 31, from Belarus, who had also just arrived in the country.

Police are examining if there was a racist or other motivation for the act against the child.

His family had reportedly fled Iran via a tortuous route through Afghanistan and had just arrived in Russia.

And the suspect had reportedly flown to Moscow from Cyprus or Egypt.

He was rapidly taken into custody after the incident, amid suspicions he was under the influence of drugs.

Moscow Region Children’s Ombudswoman Ksenia Mishonova said: “A drug-addled monster grabbed a toddler in the arrivals hall and threw him on the floor with all his might….

“All this is incredibly difficult to bear.

“I hope the detained monster will receive the full severity of the law.

“I wish the child a speedy recovery.

“May the parents have the strength to survive this.”

Traces of cannabis were found in the suspect’s blood, according to reports citing the Russian Investigative Committee.

Other reports say drugs were found in his possession.  

He was described as incapable of explaining his actions.

He was asked by officers if he had been in trouble with the police before and replied: “I made mistakes like that.”

Vitkov has a daughter the same age as the boy thrown to the ground, said reports. 

A female friend was “in shock” from his alleged actions. 

The suspect is under investigation for attempted murder.

The committee said: “A man, while in the airport arrivals area in a state of drug intoxication, grabbed a child and, lifting him, threw him to the floor with considerable force.

“The boy was hospitalised in a medical facility for assistance. 

“The man’s criminal actions were stopped by eyewitnesses of the incident.”
