A wealthy businessman is being criticised online after snatching a player\u2019s cap from a child at the US Open.\n<\/p>\n
Millionaire Piotr Szczerek, the head of paving company called Drogbruk, went viral for grabbing the souvenir, intended as a gift from Poland\u2019s Kamil Majchrzak to a young lad in the stands.<\/p>\n
While giving autographs after his victory over Russia\u2019s Karen Khachanov, Majchrzak removed his cap and held it out for the boy in the crowd.<\/p>\n
But before the boy could grab it, Szczerek snatched the cap, which he put in his wife\u2019s bag as the boy protested.<\/p>\n
The clip instantly went viral with people describing the man\u2019s actions as \u2018disgusting\u2019. The backlash has been so fierce, the couple have deactivated their social media accounts.<\/p>\n
