Kareem Smalls, 42, from New Haven, Connecticut, has been arrested and charged with several offenses after allegedly assaulting his 12-year-old daughter at a Key Foods supermarket. Witnesses and video footage show Smalls kicking, punching, and hitting the girl with keys, as well as dragging her by her hair. He was also found with a box cutter. The child suffered swelling and pain from the assault. Smalls faces charges including second-degree assault and interfering with an officer, with his bond set at $250,000. Prosecutors argue the bond should be higher due to the severity of the injuries and ongoing investigation.
