SURFSIDE, Fla. -- A man wanted for slapping a crying toddler in a supermarket has been arrested, police said.
According to the mother, the suspect became so annoyed with her 3-year-old daughter's crying that he pushed the girl in her face.
"He just grabbed at her face, and he wouldn't take his hand off," the victim's mother said in an earlier interview.
Police released a sketch of the alleged suspect, based on a description from the mother following the May 18th incident.
An anonymous tip led police to 65-year old Jeffrey Feld.
Feld has a history of arrests for petty theft, loitering, disorderly conduct and drug possession.
He is being held on $5,000 bail and faces battery and child abuse charges.
