KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Jackson County Prosecutor’s office says a Kansas City man stabbed a toddler during a police chase. KCTV-TV reports the 18-month-old boy underwent emergency surgery and remains in intensive care. Blue Springs police say the chase began early Monday when Tabatha Ong drove away from a crash. Prosecutors say 24-year-old Anthony Beighley-Beck, a passenger in the car, stabbed the child during the chase. Court documents say he later told investigators he was afraid the boy would be given to relatives who would abuse him. Beighley-Beck is charged with first-degree assault and armed criminal action. Ong is charged with endangering the welfare of a child.
