TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) – Tallahassee police have released a photo of a man accused of attacking a 10-year-old girl during a birthday party at Fun Station.
The child's family told WTXL the man grabbed the girl while she was playing laser tag with friends on Friday night.
She was able to pull away, but the man reportedly slapped her in the face and called her the "N" word and the "B" word.
The family did not want to talk on camera about the incident.
But family friend Tracey Davis said they want the man held accountable.
"It's not okay to slap somebody's child. It's not okay to call a child those type of words. It's just not okay," said Davis. It's not okay to hit somebody's child and get away with it and walk off and have nothing done. I think he needs to be arrested, and he needs to understand what he's done to that child."
WTXL also reached out to Fun Station about the incident. The general manager sent this statement:
"Fun Station is aware of the incident that took place Friday night and is assisting TPD with video and images of the people involved. Anyone with helpful information is invited to contact TPD directly as their investigation continues."
