Magician 'punches four-year-old boy in the face' after child disrupted his show at a kindergarten
A magician is under investigation after he allegedly punched a four-year-old boy at a kindergarten party.
The preschool in Munich, Germany had hired the performer for the afternoon when the act is said to have gone awry.
While a group of children went on stage at the end of the magician's set, a boy kicked his equipment.
Enraged, the clown is said to have punched him in the face with the flat of his hand.
The boy reportedly suffered minor injuries in the alleged assault.
Police were called to the school around 6:20pm, where they were met by around 40 children and their parents.
After police questioned the magician, he was released.
When asked for comment by German publication Bild, he said: 'I can't say anything about that.
'It's all in the police report. It's crazy how this is evolving.'
Meanwhile, the boy's distraught mother also told Bild: 'My son said the magician had big hands.'
However, she refused to comment further on the incident.
When asked, St. Stephan Kindergarten refused to talk about the what happened.
If he is convicted, it has been reported that the magician, whose website promises 'Amazement, laughter, and excitement... unforgettable moments for your guests', could face up to five years in prison or a fine.
