An Applebee’s patron was tackled to the floor while holding a baby and then beaten by Wisconsin police officers as the real suspects of a hit-and-run hid in the bathroom in a horrific case of mistaken identity.
Kenosha police officers were searching for the suspects involved in a serious crash on July 20 when witnesses to the crash said that they saw two black men and a woman carrying a child bolt down the road into a nearby Applebee’s, according to WISN 12 News.
“(Police) came in and asked (the family) to show them what car they came in, so they could verify if they were in the car accident or not,” Jennifer Harris, the manager working at Applebee’s that night told the outlet.
A separate unnamed employee informed officers of a man and woman with a child eating at a table at the restaurant when they approached them for questioning.
“The guy didn’t want to comply, he had his baby in his arms. (The officers) kept telling him he’s not under arrest, but he’s detained, and needed to answer this question,” Harris said. “He was trying to say he needed to change his son’s diaper. He tried to go the other way, they tackled him into a wall and the baby hit its head on the wall.”
