HONOLULU- The man in hospital scrubs threw the toddler like a doll from the pedestrian overpass to the freeway humming with traffic. The 2 1/2-year old boy fell 30 feet to the asphalt and was pronounced dead at the scene.
The horrifying incident Thursday on the highway cutting through the heart of the city shocked Honolulu residents, causing panicked parents to phone day care centers to check on their children.
Police arrested a 23 years-old man they say occasionally baby-sat the child after witnesses saw him throwing something,followed him and called authorities.
Kraig Hengst told The Honolulu Advertiser he was working in an apartment garage across the street from the overpass when he saw a man "toss the baby" at about 11:40 a.m.
"I saw the baby high in the air. I thought it was a doll at first," Hengst said. The man held the child in one arm and "tossed it into the air," he said.
