"A man dressed as Sesame Street&amp;#039;s Cookie Monster has been arrested and charged after reportedly shoving a 2-year-old child. Osvaldo Quiroz-Lopez, who was dressed as the blue furry character from the children&amp;#039;s animated series, reportedly became agitated after the family of the child refused to tip him $2 (\u00C2\u00A31.30) after posing for a photograph. The incident occurred in New York&amp;#039;s Times Square, and Sky News reports that Quiroz-Lopez is alleged to have pushed the toddler, before shouting obscenities at the child&amp;#039;s parents. The child&amp;#039;s mother - actress and former beauty queen Parmita Katkar - said that her son has been left extremely upset by the incident. &amp;quot;All he keeps saying is, &amp;#039;I don&amp;#039;t like the Cookie Monster, I don&amp;#039;t like the Cookie Monster&amp;#039;,&amp;quot; she told the New York Post. Katkar also alleged that she was harrassed by a number of other costumed performers who had their photographs taken with her son, but that they left her alone when she told them her husband was getting money from a cash machine. Quiroz-Lopez appeared in a Manhattan courtroom on Tuesday (April 9), and has been held in lieu of bail on charges of endangering the welfare of a child and reckless endangerment.
