SEVEN HILLS, Ohio — A Broadview Heights man is facing an assault charge after police said he attacked a 3-year-old boy inside a Meijer store in Seven Hills on Wednesday morning.
According to Seven Hills police, the 37-year-old suspect allegedly ran up behind the child around 10:30 a.m. and smashed the boy's face into the spikes of a shopping cart.
Witnesses told officers he struck the boy's face at least three times before the child's mother and aunt grabbed their children and tried to escape through the store. They told police they were afraid for their lives.
Police said the child sustained scratches on his neck and behind his right ear, along with a bleeding cut on his nose.
An off-duty security officer drew his concealed weapon and ordered the man to the ground. Police said the man did not comply and instead threw merchandise around the store before being restrained.
Officers took the man into custody without further incident.
The man's social worker told officers that he is nonverbal and autistic. Police cited him for assault. He was released on a $375 bond and is scheduled to appear in Parma Municipal Court on Nov. 19.
In a statement, Meijer said it was aware of the incident at its Seven Hills location and is cooperating with the Seven Hills Police Department as they investigate.

"he is nonverbal and autistic"
Yeah I saw a video where they said that 😨
Although, it’s not absolute, it would fit the typical media handling of the story.
His punishment?
In jail smash his face into the cell bars 3-5 times until he says he’s sorry and will pay fines for the boy’s injuries.
“until he says he’s sorry”
He’s autistic and nonverbal. I would agree he needs his butt whipped.
A shopping cart stolen from the set of "Ben-Hur?!"

A lot of Haitians in Ohio.
Then what was he doing in the store by himself?
I don't believe the claim.
“Non-verbal and autistic” on its own is not enough to have somebody institutionalized but if they go around doing shit like this guy did then why take a chance?
“bonded out”??? He should have just shot the guy.
Let me guess: it’s them again, Yogi.
Might be a negro but sounds like a nut case either way.
As far as yogi goes; I haven’t watched cartoons in years.
Guess you forgot how to spell negro.
Liberal judges must go.
ah yes, the “special needs” card again
I know a local autistic man who is violent, mostly towards his mother. But he won’t touch her when her brother is around. Someone told me that proves her brother is mean. I countered that it proved the autistic guy knew not to beat his mother when there are consequences for it. IOW he knows when it’s OK to beat his mother and when it is not.
Hot stove logic is there.
Sounds like he’s unemployed if he’s nonverbal an autistic, so who paid the $375 bond? What’s their responsibility if he screws up again?
