Other men got involved, and after several moments the child is taken out Brown's arms and Brown is then knocked unconscious. The child was not hurt, but Brown was cited for a child abuse charge.

In addition to Premer, Joel Wilson, was arrested on a first-degree assault charge for his role in the attack. He is still awaiting sentencing.
