MILLIONAIRE CEO Piotr Szczerek is the “jerk” fan who snatched tennis star Kamil Majchrzak’s hat from a child at the US Open, according to internet sleuths.

Outraged by the clip where young Brock is left empty-handed and upset, online vigilantes made it their mission to locate the cap pincher.

They claim the “entitled” culprit is Szczerek from Poland, CEO of paving firm Drogbruk.

Majchrzak confirmed to the New York Post that Szczerek is the man in the video, and revealed he sponsors his tennis federation in Poland.

Furious internet users have been quick to blast him for his alleged actions.

“Only an ordinary idiot and a jerk could snatch a hat from a child’s hands,” said one commenter.

Another said: “If the company’s president so unscrupulously stole a child’s hat, if I were a customer, I would no longer use his services.”

A shocking scene played out after Brock watched Majchrzak score the biggest win of his career against Karen Khachanov on Thursday.

The 29-year-old Pole was filmed removing his cap and trying to hand it to Brock, who was stood in the crowd.

Yet a brazen onlooker stood next to the boy swiped it instead and quickly stuffed it into his bag.

The kid looked devastated as the man took off with the hat, while Majchrzak hadn’t noticed the shocking moment.

Brock appears to say: “What are you doing?” to the man.

And the clip soon went viral, sparking outrage and indignation from tennis fans.

Many branded the man who took the hat “selfish” and a “jerk” for stealing the kid’s thunder.

But ever since Majchrzak was made aware of what happened, he’s moved heaven and earth to put things right – and Brock has been reunited with his sporting hero.

He launched an Instagram appeal on Friday to find the boy.

“After the match I didn’t record that my cap didn’t get to the boy,” he posted.

“Thanks to @asicstennis I’ve got enough caps, so I’m prepared for that.

“Hey guys, could you help me find the kid from my match. If it’s you (or your parents see this), please send me a DM.”

His appeal was a success, and he has since been reunited with Brock.

A heartwarming clip posted on Instagram shows the pair shaking hands and chatting.

The caption reads: “Hello World, Together with Brock we wish you a great day!”

In a chat with SunSport, Majchrzak said: “It was a very nice meeting.

“I wanted to meet the boy Brock and his family and just try to make things right for him.”

But Majchrzak thinks fans should now lay off Szczerek, and says he took the hat “in the heat of the moment”.

He said: “I don’t want to say something wrong, because I know how viral it went.

“But what I think is he was also acting in the moment of emotions, in the heat of the moment, and probably when he realised what happened, it was already too late.

“I mean that’s pretty much it. This wasn’t right, but what’s gone is gone.

“I mean, we fixed it, everybody’s happy now, and I think it’s time to put it behind for everyone.”
