Polish Millionaire Vanishes From Social Media After Snatching child’s Hat at US Open
NEW YORK – A viral video depicting a man snatching a hat from a young boy at the US Open has sparked outrage and led to the swift identification of the individual as Polish businessman Piotr Szczerek, CEO of a โฃpaving company. Szczerekโค hasโ since deactivated his social media accounts โfollowing the widespread condemnation.
The incident occured during โa recent US Open match. Video footage showed Szczerek reaching over and taking a hatโ from Brock, a child who was anticipating receiving the item as a gift. In theโ moment, Brock could be seen pleading with Szczerek, trying to get his attention to no avail.
The clip quickly spread online, amassing tensโ of millions of views. Following the backlash, tennis player Kamil Majchrzak, who originally intended toโข gift the hat to Brock, personally located the boy and delivered the hatโฃ himself, sharingโ the heartwarming moment on Instagram with the caption:โฃ “All good now!” Majchrzak stated he was unaware the gift had been taken โuntil the video surfaced.
online sleuths identified Szczerek as the man in theโ video, leading to โhis being “doxxed” – having his โpersonal information publicly shared. Reports indicate Szczerek has disabled comments on his social โmedia profiles.Social media users reacted with reliefโ at the โpositive resolution for Brock, with one commenter stating, “I love that this had a happy ending,” โขand another adding, “Heโฃ must be ashamed โfor it.” Some acknowledged the role of public pressure โin promptingโ a correction, noting, “Yup all good! Especially since he only โdid it because of public pressure but all good! He’s redeemed what a good person.”
