- BY STEPHEN REX BROWN

A BRONX mother indicted Monday for pushing her 2-year-old son in a stroller down a set of subway stairs angrily declared “You can have the baby!” prosecutor­s charge.

Jessica Mixon, 26, was charged with reckless endangerme­nt and assault, for shoving little Jayden down the steps of the 149 St.-Grand Concourse station last month.

A police officer reported that on June 1 at 2:30 p.m. he found the crying child, who had not been strapped into the stroller. The boy had a bloody nose and abrasions on his face on the steps leading to the 2, 4 and 5 trains.

At the top of the stairs on the street, the cop found Mixon angrily “walking around and screaming,” according to a criminal complaint.

“I don’t care anymore, you can have the baby!” she yelled.

“Yes I threw the baby down the stairs. You can have him. I don’t want the baby. I don’t give a f--about the baby.”

She also declared that she already “had a case” with the city’s Administra­tion for Children’s Services, according to papers.

Surveillan­ce camera footage showed Jayden and the stroller tumbling down the stars, authoritie­s said.

“This incident was caught on video, in all its cruelty and senselessn­ess,” Bronx District Attorney Darcel Clark said.

“The defendant showed depraved indifferen­ce to this young child's life, but miraculous­ly, he escaped serious physical harm.”

Police sources previously told the Daily News Mixon had become upset her son’s father was breaking up with her before pushing the stroller.

The child was treated at Lincoln Hospital.

Mixon faces up to seven years in prison if convicted of the most serious charge. Neither the mom nor her attorney could be reached.
