The man holding the child, identified as 39-year-old Richard Brown, is seen approaching a man in the bar, apparently amid a verbal altercation. Shortly thereafter, another man punches Brown.
Other men got involved, and after several moments the child is taken out Brown’s arms and Brown is then knocked unconscious.
Police say one of the men, 31-year-old Joel Wilson, was arrested on a first-degree assault charge. They’re still searching for one of the suspects seen in the video, and asked anyone who recognized him to come forward.
Brown faces a child abuse charge. The child wasn’t injured.
