In a shocking incident in Charlotte, North Carolina, a man has been arrested for allegedly punching a toddler. The incident occurred when a mother reported that an unknown man punched her 1-year-old child near West Summit Avenue and South Tryon Street.
The suspect, identified as Rico Limon Williams, was taken into custody after witnesses identified him. Williams is now facing charges of assault on a child under the age of 12. The child was taken to the hospital for treatment but has since been released.
Williams is currently being held in Mecklenburg County Jail. During the court hearing, it was revealed that Williams had a history of unrelated crimes and faces several other charges.
Some residents in the area expressed concern about the increase in crime, while Williams' attorney cited mental health issues. The district attorney's office labeled Williams as a danger to society, and he is being held on a $125,000 bond.
