A man in New York is being widely criticized online after he was filmed kicking a stroller that contained a baby inside.
The incident reportedly took place inside the Nassau County Courthouse in Mineola, New York. According to accounts shared online, the mother had brought her baby in a stroller into the courthouse, which upset the man involved. In the video, he is seen approaching the mother and stroller before kicking it with force, appearing to disregard the child’s safety, according to the footage being circulated.
Immediately after the incident, courthouse police officers intervened and surrounded the man, pushing him against a wall to restrain him and bring the situation under control. As officers held him, he can be heard yelling at the mother, saying, “Why the [expletive] you brought that baby here, [expletive]?”
More police officers quickly rushed to the scene, joining those who initially responded. As the man continued yelling at the mother, officers attempted to restrain and handcuff him. “Stop resisting,” one officer can be heard saying. The man responded that he was not resisting and repeated his question about why the mother had brought the baby into the courthouse. Eventually, officers were able to place him in handcuffs and escort him away from the area.
It was reported that the baby did not suffer serious injuries following the incident inside the courthouse. However, it was also claimed that the mother was left deeply traumatized by what happened, according to accounts shared after the video circulated online.
