A 38-year-old Ypsilanti Township man was arrested Sunday on accusations of child abuse after his 6-month-old son was taken to the hospital in critical condition Sunday, police said.
Deputies from the Washtenaw County Sheriff's Office were called at 3:30 a.m. to the University of Michigan Hospital for a report of suspected child abuse on Sunday, said Sgt. Geoff Fox.
The abuse is believed to have occurred Saturday night at a residence in the 8700 block of Trillium Drive in Ypsilanti Township.
Fox said the 38-year-old was the lone caregiver of his 6-month-old son and a 2-year-old child.
"The investigation has revealed that the child ... received significant head trauma," Fox stated in a release.
The 38-year-old was expected to be arraigned Tuesday, Fox said. He remains in custody.
