And as you can probably imagine, audiences were left stunned, furious, and in a state of complete disbelief as they saw the horror unfold in front of their eyes.
The victim was stated to have been involved in a busy and competitive faceoff against the robotic player when all of a sudden, the robot mistakenly grabbed a hold of the 7-year-old child’s finger and broke his finger.
The exact location of the incident was desired as the Moscow Open and it is believed to have taken place last week as reported by media outlets in Russia.
