A distraught dad claims his new-born baby was punched by a complete stranger.

Curtis had his 13-week-old son Cruz in a carrier strapped to his chest in the carpark of Saint Pub in Perth’s suburb of Innaloo two weeks ago when he alleges his little boy was punched.

“It made a thud sound – it would’ve been like a short-range punch,” Curtis said.

“I couldn’t believe it. (I was) just shocked.”

He added his son let out a “high-pitch scream”.

It’s alleged by police “a few words” were exchanged before the baby was hit in the head. He received minor injuries, reports 7 news.

Curtis claims the man asked, “Is that baby real?”

He believes the punch connected with the back of his son’s shoulder. He added he pulled back Cruz’s blanket fearing the worst.

“I was like, ‘please, please, please – don’t be anything wrong with him’,” he said.

Ian Gordon, 27, was charged with endanger life, health or safety of a person.

Gordon pleaded not guilty to the charge and faced court for the first time on Monday.

  • Even if there was words exchanged that is no excuse to take your anger out on an innocent baby…or anybody else. That alledged offender possibly needs to do an anger management course.

  • No matter what the Dad did or didn’t do there is no excuse for punching a baby.

  • I saw this on the news! Who does that to a baby – or anyone for that matter! The poor family is now anxious everytime they leave the house with the baby, and rightly so! Hope the offender does get jail time

  • Punching a baby is totally unacceptable. No matter what happened before that.
