PITTSBURGH — UPDATE 9/14/24: Pittsburgh police announced that the 4-month-old baby has died. They expect additional charges.
A man was arrested after his baby was found unresponsive and severely injured in Bloomfield.
Pittsburgh police were dispatched for a 4-month-old boy who was unresponsive and brought to the hospital with visible signs of abuse on Tuesday.
Police say Seth Williams, 28, badly beat his 4-year-old twins and 4-month-old baby boy.
That baby is at Children’s Hospital, and according to doctors, they believe he had up to three blows to his head.
Police say Williams was watching his children, called his girlfriend at work, and told her to come home because the twins knocked the baby’s bassinet over.
The baby was taken to UPMC Children’s Hospital. Channel 11 has learned he is in grave condition.
A search warrant was conducted on the home, during which the baby’s father was found hiding in the basement of the apartment building, according to police.
As for the twins, police say they told a family member that their dad punched them and threw them across the room the same day.
The condition of their apartment was in shambles, with broken glass on the floor and a door off the hinges.
The twins also apparently told investigators their dad threw the baby boy onto the floor.
He was taken into custody on former warrants and is now facing aggravated assault charges against his own children.
