A man was charged with child endangerment after throwing his 13-month-old boy during a disturbance in the Austin neighborhood on the West Side Saturday night.
Ahmad Boyd, 22, of the 7200 block of South Albany Avenue in the Chicago Lawn neighborhood, was charged with endangering the life and health of a child, obstruction of traffic and resisting a peace officer, all of which are misdemeanors.
Boyd was with a large group standing in the street and on cars outside near the intersection of Laverne Avenue and Quincy Street Saturday about 6:45 p.m.
As police got closer they saw Boyd holding a 13-month-old boy while sitting on a trunk of a car parked on the street.
When officers asked if he would move to the sidewalk with the infant for the child’s safety, he said: “This is my car, I’m in front of my house, this is my baby, and I can do whatever the fuck I want with him,’’.
As police got out of their vehicle, he refused to move to the sidewalk and told the officer “fuck you, bitch" before throwing the child into “mid air” to another person he did not know, placing the child’s life in danger.
Boyd then ran way but police chased after him. He was apprehended by officers after running though traffic and subdued with a Taser
