A boy is missing two teeth after an angry soccer dad punched him in the mouth, police say.

Mario Grado, 33, punched the 14-year-old boy at Polk Middle School at a soccer event on Saturday after he saw the teen and his son joking with each other, according to a criminal complaint.

Grado told police he didn't like the way the boy was talking to his son but admitted he shouldn't have hit him, the complaint said.

Grado is charged with child abuse without great bodily harm. He was released after posting $5,000 bail.
