I can see why athletes are wary of grown men leaning over the railing to get autographs...

Wow. Not sure what else there is to say about that.

Has the dickhead been identified yet?

It's gone pretty viral globally. And Jomboy just posted the reel (above) that captures the whole incident. That selfie with the woman also? Douche. I'm thinking he's outed within 24 hours.

I would love to see him charged with theft.......after breaking both of his hands.

Mystery solved:

"A young tennis fan’s day at the U.S. Open was ruined by a Polish CEO who tore away a cap his idol had passed to him from the court. Celebrating an impressive win on Friday, Polish tennis star Kamil Majchrzak was signing autographs when he removed his hat and passed it to the boy. Footage of the incident shared on social media shows a man—whom internet sleuths claim to have identified as Piotr Szczerek, CEO of Polish paving company Drogbruk—standing beside the boy, ripping away the cap just as the child reached for it. “If you’re the jerk who snatched Majchrzak’s cap out of the child’s hand I’d get out in front of this,” one social media user wrote. “Find out how to get the hat back to the kid and make a public apology. This won’t end well unless you make it right quickly.” Word of the sad mishap already appears to have reached Majchrzak, who later posted a video to Instagram of a subsequent meeting with the boy, named Brock, in which the child is seen wearing what’s presumably another of Majchrzak’s hats."

I was reading in another article that the CEO is getting crushed in Poland on their social media channels. People saying they are going to boycott his business. Majchrzak gave the CEO the kid's parents' details so he could try to repair the reputational damage he created for himself. Interestingly, the CEO sponsors the Polish tennis federation. Embarrassing on more levels than one.
