An Oregon man allegedly pulled down his mask while inside a grocery store Thursday and tried to kiss a baby he didn't know on the lips. 

A couple was at a WinCo in Springfield with their 1-year-old daughter sitting on a shopping cart when Austin Blake Stewart leaned down, removed his mask, and kissed the child on the lips and fled, KEZI-TV reported. The father flagged down store staff while the mother began searching for Stewart inside the store.
