Stills from the footage released by police as of Monday show the victim juggling the sleeping 7-month-old baby with one arm, while reaching out with the other hand in an apparent effort to shield the child from the attacker.
The victim, who has not been identified, told police his attacker followed him to the Valero gas station at the intersection of Hubble and Tireman avenues in Michigan City, Detroit’s Fox 2 News reported.

When the assailant drew his gun, the young father raised his arm while still holding the baby, hit the gun and possibly caused a malfunction, police said.
