A fire chief from a Philadelphia-area suburb said he “kind of lost control” when he took his crying baby, and threw her to the ground, according to officers in a report from local ABC affiliate WPVI. The girl survived but was grievously injured.
“Largely based around a skull fracture on the right side of the rear of the head,” Detective Dennis O’Connell of the Falls Township Police Department reportedly said, citing hospital staff. “They mentioned there was some unexplained bleeding in and around the eye and some bruising on the child’s legs.”
The defendant, Brian Salt, 36, is charged with aggravated assault. He is held on 10% of a $500,000 bail.
