A Maryland father was arrested for child abuse after his six-week-old baby sustained significant injures, Frederick police said.
Keith Patrick Lewis, 34, was charged with first- and second-degree child abuse on Friday. His infant was admitted to a Frederick Health Hospital on Wednesday, and was later transferred to Children’s National Hospital in Washington, D.C.
Police said that the infant had sustained "significant" wounds, including multiple bone fractures. The Frederick City Police Department confirmed to Fox News Digital that Lewis is the child's father.
Police were first tipped off by officials from child protective services. They initiated an investigation after responding to the D.C. children's hospital and found cause to arrest the father after two days.
