Many have criticised the callous guard for continuing to march into the boy and then not bothering when the child fell to the ground.</p>
<p>
A spokesperson for UK&rsquo;s Ministry of Defence told Daily Mail that they were aware of the video and the guard did in fact check on the boy later.</p>
<p>
&#39;We are aware of an incident at the Tower of London earlier today during a routine patrol,&quot; the Ministry of Defence said in a statement.</p>
<p>
&quot;The Guardsmen on duty warned members of the public that a patrol was approaching but the child unfortunately ran out in front of the soldier unexpectedly.</p>
<p>
Some netizens have defended the guard saying he was doing his duty as per tradition.</p>
<p>
The video was first shared anonymously on TikTok, from where it made its way to other social media platforms. It has been viewed more than 2 million times on Twitter.</p>
