Surveillance photos show the individual leaving the station.
The child’s mother told CBS2 the individual was panhandling and asked the man sitting next to them for money, and the mother asked the individual to stay six feet away.
The mother says the individual walked away, but then stepped on the mother’s foot, turned around and mumbled something. That’s when the mother says the individual started punching her 2-year-old child, who was asleep in his mother’s arms.
The toddler was taken to the hospital and released. The child’s mother says the doctor told her he would have seizures.
