US man offers to swap his child for beer

London, May 19 (ANI): A man in Chicopee, Massachusetts, US, was so frantic to quench his alcohol thirst that he made an offer to swap his baby for two bottles of beer.

Matthew Brace now faces a child endangerment charge for allegedly asking to strike the deal for the three-month old baby girl.

Cops challenged 24-year-old after allegation that he made the strangest offer to a maintenance man outside a petrol station, reports the Sun.

The man called the police and they found Brace hiding with the girl behind a litterbin.

Brace was not arrested but will be summoned to court and the child has now been taken into care.

The child's mother was inside the garage shop at the time and was not charged. (ANI)
