CAMBRIDGE, MA — A man hit a woman and grabbed her stroller with her 1-year-old child in it just before 10 a.m. Tuesday not far from Central Square. Now, police are asking for the public's help in finding him.

Cambridge Police released an image of a man a witness was able to snap after they said he yelled at a woman and then hit her in the face with a cell phone.
