TWO teachers have been arrested after a shocking viral video of them violently beating kids.

Videos show the kindergarten staff, aged 21 and 40, forcing a young girl to sit on a boy, slapping children around the face and pushing one off his chair.

The pair were detained in Malaysia on Saturday after their manager saw the video and filed a complaint.

Afzanizar Ahmad, Melaka Tengah district police chief, told reporters the case is under investigation.

In one sick clip, a teacher lifts up a girl and slams her on top of a young lad who is forced to crouch down.

Later, one of the women is seen whacking a boy repeatedly around the face until he goes flying off his chair.

She then unleashes blows on another small child.

Their cruel acts were filmed on the nursery's CCTV.

The unnamed teacher's were released on £576 bail, pending further investigations.

But the gut-wrenching video has been viewed almost 1,500 times since being shared online by Channel News Asia.

The children in the video appear to be no older than three year's old.

They are wearing school uniforms of tiny yellow polo shirts, which match the teacher's headscarfs.

The children can be seen flinching with fear as the teachers raise their hands to strike them.
