Mount Kisco, New York (CNN) -- Three nurses saw it this way -- it was a gut reaction that led to a kick in the guts.
The suburban New York maternity ward nurses testified Tuesday they were simply trying to protect Douglas Kennedy's infant, whose head was bobbing as his father tried to take him outside the hospital, allegedly without permission. That's when Kennedy kicked one of them and twisted the arm of another, they testified.
It was the second day of Kennedy's criminal trial on misdemeanor charges of harassment and child endangerment resulting from what happened in January at Northern Westchester Hospital in Mount Kisco, about 40 miles north of New York City.
One of the nurses, Cari Luciano, said that as Kennedy tried to get past the nurses and into the stairwell, his infant's head was being jostled, unsupported, in his arms. She testified that she instinctively reached out to steady it when Kennedy kicked her squarely in the pelvis.
Nurse Marian Williams said she saw Kennedy kick Luciano with "such force" that it knocked her off her feet.
The third nurse, Anna Lane, testified Kennedy twisted her arm off the stairwell door as he tried to leave.
"The baby was bouncing around in Mr. Kennedy's arms," she testified, explaining why the three nurses tried to intervene.
Prosecutors say the nurses were simply following hospital protocol set up in newborns' interests when they tried to keep infant Bo from being taken out of the hospital. Not only did Kennedy not back down, prosecutors say, but he fought back.
