An incident at an Overland Park, Kan., Wal-Mart is under investigation after a woman reported that a strange man walked up to her in the checkout lane and began choking her 4-month-old baby, KTLA reports.

A shopper who saw the Wednesday attack tackled the man and held him until police arrived, according to the report.

"While I was at the countertop, speaking with the lady and bagging up my groceries, this random man comes out of nowhere and yanks the car seat out of the cart," said Quisha Hill, the mother of 4-month-old baby Alyssa.
