A gun-toting man who allegedly dangled his own baby girl off an overpass on Interstate 95 in Philadelphia, while threatening to throw her over, is now criminally charged.
"Then I saw that the man grabbed the baby and tried to throw her over the bridge," King said."That's when I hit the brakes on my car and went out to stop him."
King added that when she parked her car in the middle of I-95, at the height of Cottman Avenue, she began to shout, pleading for Murphy to let go of the child, but he pushed her and threatened to shoot her. "The police then came and pointed their guns at him, but he didn't want to let the baby go," King said.
After several minutes of struggling and screaming, King said the mother managed to take the gun from her partner. And, after a brief standoff with police, Murphy released the baby and was taken into custody. Murphy is being held on $1.5 million bail, plus a stay away order and mental health evaluation, the DA’s office said. Defender Association of Philadelphia, which is representing Murphy, could not be reached for comment Saturday.
