Port Arthur Police Department Chief Timothy Duriso told KFDM the little one is 3 months old. Cops later visited the home and ensured the baby was unharmed.
"It's a sad situation. I know a lot of people go to social media and they are looking for clicks," Duriso explained in an interview with 12 News. "But this is not a deal where you should put a baby on the windshield."

"He had two other females with him at the time. We suspect one of them was the mom. They checked on the baby. The baby was just fine," Duriso confirmed.
Cops are now looking into the subject's criminal history. Charges have yet to be filed in the case. However, Duriso told the outlet the man in question could be charged with child endangerment. Once everything is turned over to the district attorney, he could be arrested as early as next week.

Child Protective Services are also looking into the situation.
Needless to say, people on the internet were outraged by the irresponsible footage. "I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this idiot do this. He should not be allowed near any child," one person wrote on social media.
"This video made me sick to watch," a second chimed in.
"This is horrible and anybody who thinks this is remotely funny is sick in the head…. Come on now!!! Ya'll really be doing some crazy-ish for likes and views," a third added.
Others quickly pointed out that the other parent should also be held responsible. "The mom needs to be charged too for standing there recording the video. This was taken extremely too far," another use emphasized.
"Just curious if this is the attention he was looking for? Don't think TikTok $ will cover your bond. And where was the mom to this infant?" an additional user questioned.
