A cold-hearted crook took a baseball bat to a barbershop window, raining shattered glass on a terrified 2-year-old boy inside, police said Saturday.
Toddler Ean del Rosario was sitting inside Osvaldo’s Barbershop on Kingsbridge Road in Kingsbridge Heights Jan. 30, getting his very first hair cut, when an unidentified man ran up to the store with a baseball ball, authorities said.
The man approached the front window and swung, shattering the glass and showering shards over the tot, cutting the back of his neck, his mother told The Post.
The child was shaken by the incident, his mom said.
“He doesn’t sleep through the night anymore. He wakes up screaming,” said the boy’s mother, Reyna Del Rosario.
The cruel vandal then ran off, cops said, while the boy was taken to Montefiore Hospital to be treated for the cut.
“He was really traumatized by the whole experience,” Del Rosario added.
The barber who was cutting the boy’s hair when the window shattered said he had no idea why the man attacked the shop.
“I don’t know who, I don’t know why, never seen him before,” the employee, who declined to be named, told The Post.
“[The mother] told me she will not come back,” he added.
The vandal was last seen wearing a dark shirt, red vest, and black hat, according to video footage of the incident.
