BROWNSVILLE, Pa. — A Fayette County man is facing charges after he slammed on the brakes so hard a toddler sitting in the back seat of the car flew forward and hit the dashboard.
State police said Anthony Arena, 38, of Redstone Township, got into a verbal argument with his girlfriend while driving on Market Street in Brownsville on December 23, 2023 around 2:10 in the afternoon.
Arena intentionally and suddenly applied the brakes, police said.
That caused a 2-year-old girl sitting in the middle of the back seat to fly forward, hitting the dashboard. She suffered bruising, redness and swelling to her face and forehead, police said.
