IT happened in a matter of seconds.

Last Thursday evening, Mr Abdul Ghafor looked away for a brief moment, but it was enough time for his grandson, 3-year-old Al-Zakhiif, to cross the carpark at Petir Road on his own.

The boy was then knocked over by a lorry that was believed to be parking at a facing lot and his left arm was then pinned under a rear wheel.

Once he was freed, Al-Zakhiif was rushed to the hospital.

Fortunately, after surgery and a week in hospital, was discharged from hospital last evening.
