A Texas man who was in Colombia to adopt a 7-year-old boy was arrested after a huge, angry mob accused him of sexually abusing the child in plain sight on a balcony, according to reports.

The 36-year-old suspect was seen holding the boy in front of him on a balcony of a building in an upscale neighborhood in Bogota on Sunday afternoon — and an outraged crowd quickly formed below, according to viral video of the incident shared on social media.

“He’s abusing the child, let him go!” shouted the woman recording along with others before the man eventually took the child inside, the dramatic clip shows.

The otherwise unidentified suspect was arrested at the scene, with a large, angry crowd having to be held back by cops as he was led out of the building in handcuffs.

The Texan kept a hood draped over his face as he was taken into a police van in the chaotic scene.

A woman and three children, ages 4, 7 and 15, were found in the residence, according to local reports.

All three were in the process of being adopted, according to local authorities, who said the children were all taken to a local hospital to be evaluated and interviewed.

Despite the anger of the mob, the Colombian Institute of Family Welfare later said there were no physical signs of sexual violence, while stressing that the investigation is ongoing because “there are other factors involved in sexual abuse,” according to Bogota-based newspaper El Espectador. 

Colombian President Gustavo Petro also said Monday that a preliminary investigation suggested the American “apparently did not” abuse the boy — and may have actually taken him out on the balcony because he was choking.

He seemed to suggest the video may have been manipulated by artificial intelligence, but did not explain why.

The American suspect’s case has been handed over to the local prosecutor’s office for review.

He had entered the country on June 6 via El Dorado International Airport “without any alert or record that would have prevented his entry,” immigration officials said.
