A doctor in his 40s punched a 12-year-old boy in a 'ski rage' attack after the child fell into him on a beginners slope at a northern New Jersey resort. Samuel Caruthers, now 47, was accused of punching the boy and stabbing him with a ski pole on February 14, 2016, after the child fell into Caruthers and his then-10-year-old son while snowboarding on the bunny slope at the Mountain Creek resort in Vernon. Caruthers was found guilty of child endangerment, assault and a weapons charge on Wednesday. A Sussex County jury acquitted Caruthers of two weapons charges while handing down the other guilty verdicts. .He faces up to seven years in prison, which is set to be determined at a sentencing hearing next month. Caruthers' attorney, George Daggett, said he will seek to overturn the 'contradictory' jury verdict. Source
