A Pennsylvania father has been taken into custody after his 9-month-old infant was discovered lethargic, with a hypodermic needle sticking out of his leg. The infant, who was “unresponsive,” was revived with a dose of Narcan.
The father, 35, who has not yet been identified, was charged overnight with aggravated assault, simple assault, endangering the welfare of a child, and recklessly endangering another person.
The baby was rushed to the hospital at about 6 p.m. Wednesday after being found in Manayunk, and is in stable condition after what turned out to be an accidental overdose. Police say the baby was acting strangely in a third-floor bedroom at a home in the 200 block of Green Lane when someone called 911. Chief Inspector Scott Small said the baby was in bed with the father when the youngster rolled over and was punctured on the leg by the needle. h/t fox29
