OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. — A man was arrested after calling 911 and reportedly handing an uninjured child to medics before taking off.
Christopher Carter, 26, was charged with child neglect after a bizarre incident around 11:20 p.m. Saturday.
Police were called to assist EMS with a possibly combative patient after Carter ran up to a responding ambulance and banged on the window while holding a naked 2-year-old girl, NewsOK reports.
“She is dying, please help her,” he told the medics, before handing the child over and running toward Interstate 40. EMS said in the police report that nothing was wrong with the child.
Carter was not wearing a shirt or shoes, and appeared to be high, according to the report. Police later received a call about a naked man standing on top of a gray car at an Econo Lodge off Interstate 40. Responding officers found Carter lying on the ground on the passenger side of the vehicle at the exit of the hotel.
When asked if he was on “water,” or PCP, the man laughed and said yes, the report states. The child was taken into protective custody by the Department of Human Services.
