The man holding the baby was barefoot, according to Mariweather.

When police start to move in, the man runs with the baby for the police car. He puts the child insider before climbing into the cruiser himself. 

“He threw the baby into the police car and tried to take off and as they were trying to get him out, he started swinging on the police and trying to fight them,” Mariweather said.

The man kept running while one officer aims his Taser and the second officer grabs the child.
