EL PASO, Texas — A Texas dad is behind bars after police say he severely beat his baby girl, leaving her with life-threatening injuries.
According to KFOX-TV, Anthony Williams, 27, of El Paso, was arrested Friday and charged with injury to a child after police received a report of possible family violence. When officers arrived, they found Williams' 1-year-old daughter unresponsive and critically injured, police said. She was taken to a nearby hospital.
He is being held on a $750,000 bond at the El Paso County Detention Facility, the release said.
Investigators believe that "Williams struck the victim several times after she kept falling while he was 'teaching' her to walk," El Paso police said in a news release Monday.
