LOS ANGELES - A homeless man has pleaded not guilty to endangering actress Jaime King’s son by smashing the windows of her car.

City News Service says Paul Floyd entered pleas Sunday to vandalism, battery and cruelty to a child by endangering health.

Beverly Hills police say King’s 4-year-old son was inside her Mercedes-Benz on Friday when Floyd began kicking and jumping on two cars.

Prosecutors say he jumped on the hood of the parked Mercedes, breaking the front and rear windows. The boy was hit by shattered glass but wasn’t hurt. King has said he was terrified by the attack.

Police quickly arrived and arrested Floyd. He could face up to five years in jail if convicted.

“Thank you so much to everyone for the outpouring of love we have received since yesterday’s attack. James Knight is very shaken up, as am I. The attack was incredibly violent, and my 4-year-old son was obviously the target of the individual’s brutal attack, which is terrifying,” she said in a statement.

“I’m saddened that the paparazzi chose to terrorize my son and I by shoving cameras in our face during the attack, whilst he was shaking and crying instead of trying to help. My brave friend Judit Balogh used her self-defense training to try and keep the individual from harming James Knight while glass was shattering on him, as the perpetrator jumped on the roof until it collapsed and kicked in windows trying to get to him. He threw a bottle at her, hitting and assaulting her, but he couldn’t catch her. Without her bravery and selflessness, I cannot imagine the outcome.” - AP
