Calgary police are asking for the public’s help locating a youth accused of assaulting a nine-week-old baby boy while he was being pushed in a stroller during a walk with his father last week.

Investigators say the incident happened between 4:30 and 5:00 p.m. on Monday, June 15, along a sidewalk in the 0 to 100 block of Country Village Gate Northeast, near Coventry Hill Boulevard.

Police say a youth who was riding a scooter along the same sidewalk reached out and struck the sleeping baby in the torso, then rode away.

A photo supplied by Calgary police shows apparent bruising left on the child’s torso from the force of the blow.
