In October 2016, defendant approached a group of developmentally disabled children at a bus stop and began “shouting that someone had stolen his check.” Defendant shoved an adult who was with the children. He grabbed one child, shoved him while holding onto “his costume,” and then punched him in the middle of his back. Finally, defendant approached a second child and punched him in the back of head. The second child fell to the ground, hit his head, and was knocked unconscious.
