Taos Man Accused Of Assaulting Baby’s Mom For Breast Feeding

SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — Taos police are searching for a man accused of slapping his newborn daughter and punching the mother because the woman was breast-feeding in front of a male doctor. Authorities say 22-year-old Rafael Orozco remains at large after the incident, which led to the hospital going into emergency mode the next day. According to a police report obtained by the Albuquerque Journal (http://bit.ly/2cZiXkI), Orozco became outraged Wednesday night because the victim was "exposing herself" to a doctor who had come to check on them. The 23-year-old victim had given birth earlier that day. Police say Orozco punched her in the mouth and grabbed her throat. He also slapped the baby on the head. A security guard restrained Orozco but released him when he said he had a gun.
