NEW YORK (KABC) — A Polish millionaire and CEO is speaking out after facing backlash for snatching a kid’s hat at the U.S. Open this week, but it wasn’t to apologize.

It happened after a match when a tennis star Kamil Majchrzak was signing autographs after his win. He took off his hat to give to a little boy, but the man just snatched it away and took off with it.

“What are you doing?” the child, whose name is Brock, yells as the man stuffs the hat in a bag.

The video of the exchange has since gone viral online.

After facing criticism online, the man said, “If you were faster, you would have it,” and threatened legal action for people criticizing him.

Social media users identified the man in the video as a Polish CEO.

Majchrzak — with some help from the internet — had a special meeting on Saturday with the young fan who had the souvenir cap snatched away.

Majchrzak saw the now-viral video and took to social media to enlist the public’s help in locating the boy.

“After the match, I didn’t record that my cap didn’t get to the boy… Could you help me find the kid from my match?” Majchrzak wrote on his Instagram story.

On Saturday, Majchrzak posted a video of his meeting with Brock, which included lots of gifted merchandise.

“Hello World, Together with Brock we wish you a great day!” Majchrzak captioned a photo of them.

Majchrzak saw his US Open run end Saturday when he was forced to retire from his third-round match against Leandro Riedi while leading 5-3.
