When the man emerged from the store, Baker continued to mock him and then punched him in the face without warning, according to news station KYW-TV.
“The defendant’s actions in this case are appalling. You wonder what would make an individual treat somebody like that,” West Chester Police Chief Scott Bohn told KYW-TV.
