Overview

• Video from Flushing Meadows shows an adult grab Kamil Majchrzak’s cap intended for a child after his five-set win over Karen Khachanov, prompting widespread outrage online.
• Majchrzak appealed on Instagram for help locating the boy and, with assistance from tournament staff, found him within hours before delivering a replacement cap and additional gifts.
• The child, identified as Brock in several reports, appeared in follow-up posts as the player praised the “power of the internet” and documented their meeting.
• Social media users identified the man as Piotr Szczerek, CEO of Polish paving firm Drogbruk, and Majchrzak told The Post the act happened “in the heat of the moment.”
• Reports say Szczerek restricted his social media amid backlash, and there has been no announced disciplinary action from US Open officials as Majchrzak said he shared the family’s contact details with him.
