Video showed a man allegedly hitting a toddler inside a Harlem restaurant, and the New York City Police Department (NYPD) is seeking help in identifying the suspect, the New York Post reported Sunday.
The clip showed the unidentified person enter the Red Star restaurant located at 147th Street and Adam Clayton Powell Boulevard in Manhattan while holding “a small child” at approximately 5:40 p.m. on Saturday, police stated.
The footage showed the man apparently drop the victim on the floor then “strike the child causing the child to fall to the ground,” law enforcement explained in a statement.
“The adult male then puts the child in a stroller and exited the location on foot in an unknown direction,” authorities continued.
Officers were notified of the incident when someone at the business called 911, but the man and child were gone by the time officers arrived.
However, police learned of the surveillance footage.
The child’s age and sex were not immediately known, the Post article said, adding, “Police described the individual being sought as a man between 20 and 30 years old.”
Citizens with information about the incident were urged to contact the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish speakers, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).
