What a prick! [View all]

When tennis player was Kamil Majchrzak signing autographs, he took off his hat to give it to a you boy but it was snatched away from the boy by a Piotr Szczerek, a Polish chief executive of a paving firm.

The man who was caught on camera snatching a hat off a young boy at the US Open has said he made a "huge mistake" after footage of the incident went viral.

Piotr Szczerek, a Polish chief executive of a paving firm, said he was "convinced" tennis star Kamil Majchrzak had been "passing his hat in my direction".

"I know I did something that seemed like consciously collecting a memento from a child," he wrote in a statement. "This wasn't my intention, but it doesn't change the fact that I hurt the boy and disappointed the fans."

The video, taken during Majchrzak's match on Thursday, showed the tennis player offering his cap to a child, before Mr Szczerek appears to take it.

Let's go to the video and you decide if Szczerek was right or wrong.
