A dad recently awoke to his toddler’s crying, only to find a stranger holding her in their living room in the middle of the night.
The father – who has not been identified – went to check on his two-year-old daughter after hearing her whimpers at around 2.30am on Thursday.
UK Mirror reports that he discovered the little girl being held on the lap of a stranger – later identified as Oren Aharon Cohen – in the living room of their home.
Cohen, 34, later told police that he had been extremely drunk and could only remember playing with a ‘midget’ in a dark room, it is claimed.
He reportedly gave descriptions of the person that matched those of the toddler.
However, he insisted ‘with 100 per cent certainty’ he did not engage in any sexual acts with the victim, according to a police report, seen by The Washington Post .
After Cohen was allegedly discovered holding the toddler, he told her dad: “I’m your friend” before tossing her on to the couch, it is reported.
The father then tried to prevent the suspect from fleeing from the apartment in Arizona, US, while the little girl’s mum called 911, police say.
