- The man accused of seriously injuring a 5-year-old boy by throwing him from a balcony at Minnesota’s Mall of America last week told investigators he had initially intended to kill an adult, but it did not “work out,” prosecutors said on Monday.
Emmanuel Aranda, who police said has a history of mental issues and arrests on relatively minor charges, went to the mall last Thursday and left without following through on his plan, the Hennepin County Attorney’s office said in a statement.Police have not identified the boy, but said he suffered life-threatening injuries after falling nearly 40 feet at the Bloomington mall, a major tourist attraction in the state.
“He had a peaceful sleep and is still continuing to fight his courageous battle,” Hanneman said. “He’s a strong survivor!” “That a child, with his mother, at a safe public area like a mall, could be violently attacked for no reason is chilling for everyone,” Freeman said. “We charged Mr. Aranda with the most severe crime that the evidence allowed.”
