A Connecticut mom who was berated by a man for breastfeeding her baby while shopping in Target has shared a video of how staff and a customer came to her defense.
Jessie Maher, who lives in Canton, posted a video taken inside the Target at Torrington, showing herself being 'verbally assaulted by an old man in Target for breastfeeding my baby'.
Maher says that she started filming around 11.30am Monday after the man said to to her: 'Can't you do that somewhere else? That's f****** disgusting.'
Maher said the man also called her a 'wh***'.
Maher said the incident occurred at a coffee shop inside the Target and that the man demanded a refund after witnessing her breastfeeding, Fox 17 reported.
During the video, a woman can be heard coming over to Maher and standing by her in support.
The woman can be heard saying: 'You shouldn't be ashamed of feeding your baby, okay? He can go the other way. This is a beautiful moment right now, if he doesn't like it he can go.'
The man says that Jessie was being disrespectful to him, to which the woman replied: 'Then don't look!'
Then, three Target staffers - two men and a woman - arrive at the coffee shop and appear to gesture the man to leave.
