An American baseball spectator is being described as "evil" and a bully after sparking an online storm of protest for stealing a souvenir ball from a little girl.
Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Juan Miranda tried tossing the girl the ball, which she initially caught with both hands before it was greedily snatched from her grasp by a woman standing nearby on the stadium railing.
The bully then celebrated her theft by high-fiving her friends in the seats around her at Minute Maid Park stadium in Houston, Texas.
The crestfallen girl turned and walked back up the steps to her seat.
The television announcer for the Major League Baseball game described the scene, "She took it right from her! That is beyond wrong."
The "Evil woman steals ball from little girl" video clip was first put online last year and was from a game in 2011. But it has gone viral this week, with more than 4.2 million views.
