A Brooklyn man on trial for allegedly shaking his baby daughter to death broke down and tearfully admitted to the incident in a videotaped confession, which was revealed for the first time Tuesday.

Jurors watched Eryk Ford, now 23, tell Brooklyn Assistant DA Joan Erskine that he became upset at about 4 a.m. one say in January 2012 when his 2-month-old daughter, Aniyah, wouldn’t stop “fussing” while he was playing video games.

“I got aggravated, and shook her four or five times,” the then-19-year-old eventually confessed in the emotional footage. “And then I threw her in the car seat.”

One juror in Brooklyn Supreme Court was seen wiping away tears.
