Hunt Continues For Man Accused Of Assaulting Victim With Cerebral Palsy In West Chester

WEST CHESTER, PA — Weeks after Barry Baker allegedly sucker punched a man with cerebral palsy, he remains free.

Warrants have been issued and the Chester County Fugitive Unit has been dispatched after Baker, 29, failed to show up for his hearing last week.

The Chester County District Attorney's Office said that Baker also failed to appear for a hearing in a domestic relations matter earlier on Thursday, and that a second warrant has been issued for his arrest.

"The defendant should turn himself in immediately to address these warrants," said District Attorney Tom Hogan. "We will not quit until we find him."

West Chester Police and other law enforcement agencies are joining the Fugitive Unit in the hunt for Baker.

Baker's mockery and then assault of the 22-year-old victim outside of a West Chester 7-11 made national headlines and sparked furor on social media after surveillance video of the incident was released to the public.

If you have any information on Baker's whereabouts, please contact authorities at 610-696-2700.
