Piotr Szczerek, the man who came under fire for stealing a tennis player’s hat meant for a young fan, has issued an apology and explained what led him to snatch the prized memento from the boy.
In a now-viral video from the US Open, Polish tennis star Kamil Majchrzak is seen approaching the crowd and trying to hand his autographed cap to a schoolboy named Brock.
Szczerek, who was standing next to Brock, snatched the hat and placed it in his wife’s bag, sparking widespread outrage on social media.
