The 2-year-old girl kept begging her mother for popcorn during a showing of “Star Wars: The Last Jedi” on Long Island, N.Y.
Keri Karman, 25, seated next to Harley Riggs, snapped at the toddler to keep quiet during the Jan. 2 showing at a Levittown theater, Nassau County police told The New York Daily News. When Harley’s mom, Celia Riggs, 28, told Karman not to talk to her daughter, a wild scene broke out.
Karman cursed and yelled, then clamped her hand over Harley’s mouth. She grabbed a tub of popcorn from Celia Riggs and dumped it over Harley’s head, striking the child with the empty container, the publication reported. Karman and her father, Charles Karman, 61, ran out of the theater while Celia Riggs tried to comfort her sobbing daughter, who suffered a bruise.
Nassau County Police Department detectives used surveillance video and credit card receipts to track down the Karmans, according to the Daily News.

God should just wipe the slate and start over
Allah commands his followers to commit the atrocities Yahweh reserves for himself.
This country is coming apart at the seams.
We need background checks for popcorn purchases. The rate we are going, we will have murder by popcorn next. Then we will have limits on how many kernels to a bag.
well, if a 2yo is taken to the theatre, and that 2yo sees everyone sitting around with popcorn and her mommy refused to buy popcorn for the child, that 2yo is going to complain. And then the mommy is supposed to either get her some popcorn or a substitute, or take her home. Before crackheads dump popcorn on her child.
Why the HELL do you take a TODDLER to a movie like this?? STUPID!!! TODDLERS TALK!!
Seriously?? You want a FILTHY FINGERED 2 year old grabbing into your POPCORN??? Not me...YUK!
Not from a stranger. Never from a stranger.
I’m glad to hear all other crimes were solved in that municipality that they were able to unravel this trivial case.
Oh, who am I kidding, probably 3 people suffered great bodily harm who got away during this same period while they solved the popcorn bandit.
Yeah. No hero’s here.
An innocent child suffers because of all the adults around her.
We walked out of a House of Pancakes one time after apologizing profusely to the waiter for our not quite 2 year olds behavior. I think she was 4 or 5 before we attempted to take her anywhere that wasn’t specifically for kids again.
Take your stupid NYC "HATE" and shove it where the sun don't shine and learn some geography!
It appears that all the “facts” of this story were supplied by the mother of the 2 yr. old. Other witnesses told a little different story.
The little guy shouted out "Y'all pray for me now!" Preacher had to stop the sermon until the laughter died down.
The story had me missing the days of ushers.
I noticed that too. Longk Oisland is not NYC. It is my understanding you get a lot spoiled brats of all ages out there.
Me too and when parents and children were well behaved and when nobody brought a 2 year old to the movies.
Levittown is hardly a place where the kids are "spolied brats". It began as lower middle to a bit higher middle class, and hasn't changed all THAT much, though the prices have gone way up.
“Take your stupid NYC “HATE” and shove it where the sun don’t shine and learn some geography!”
Yaaaaay!!
My entire family loves NYC——my Asian DIL especially loves the Chinatown in Queens.
