HONDO, Texas – A group of employees at a Hondo business is being credited with saving an infant\u2019s life after stopping a man who police say tried to harm the child and throw the baby into a dumpster.<\/p>\n
The incident happened around 3:22 p.m. Friday at Peerless Equipment on U.S. 90 East. <\/p>\n
According to the Hondo Police Department, witnesses saw the suspect, later identified as 40-year-old Kyle Bruce of San Antonio, attempting to injure the infant.<\/p>\n
Employees immediately intervened, restraining Bruce and protecting the child until officers arrived. <\/p>\n
The infant was transported to a hospital, treated, and later reunited with the mother. Police say the child is expected to make a full recovery.<\/p>\n
A preliminary investigation revealed the suspect had earlier been involved in a disturbance with the child\u2019s mother in Bexar County. During that altercation, Bruce allegedly left the mother at a gas station and fled with the baby before being confronted at Peerless Equipment.<\/p>\n
He was booked into the Medina County Jail on charges of felony endangering a child and felony injury to a child.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"HONDO, Texas – A group of employees at a Hondo business is being credited with saving an infant\u2019s…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":203536,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[5133],"tags":[5229,630,7988,46655,112320,29673,7207,1558,7202,7203,7238,358,3187,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":["post-203535","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-antonio","tag-america","tag-baby","tag-employees","tag-harm","tag-hondo","tag-infant","tag-police","tag-recovery","tag-san-antonio","tag-sanantonio","tag-suspect","tag-texas","tag-tx","tag-united-states","tag-united-states-of-america","tag-unitedstates","tag-unitedstatesofamerica","tag-us","tag-usa"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115154320306655408","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/203535","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=203535"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/203535\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/203536"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=203535"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=203535"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=203535"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
