Baby in hospital after being thrown at a wall while still in stroller
A five-month-old baby is in hospital tonight being assessed for head injuries after a man allegedly threw the infant against a wall in Sydney's west.
A 21-year-old man has been arrested over the alleged attack.
Police say he was fighting with a woman at an address in Hebersham, near Mount Druitt, at 2.30pm when the incident occurred.
Police have been told the man picked up the stroller with the baby inside and threw it before leaving the scene.
The five-month-old fell and hit his head on a tile floor.
He was rushed to Westmead Children's Hospital with a suspected head injury, his mother at his side.
The baby remains in a stable condition.
Meanwhile, the 21-year-old man was found by police nearby a short time later and taken to Mount Druitt Police Station, where he is being questioned by detectives.
