A former Passaic County pastor was arrested Wednesday after he allegedly choked an infant girl in a Kansas City-area Walmart.
Oleh Zhownirovych, 54, was charged with aggravated battery, Overland Park Police spokesman Officer John P. Lacy said.
Police responded to the Walmart Wednesday at 7:23 a.m. on a report of a man choking a 4-month-old girl, Lacy said.
The infant was with her mother, Quisha Hill, in a checkout line when a man walked up from behind her and put his hands around the baby’s throat, Lacy said.
Hill said the man told her he was taking the baby and tried to pull the infant’s carrier out of Hill’s shopping cart, Lacy said.
