CHICAGO (Sun-Times Media Wire) -
A South Side man was ordered held in lieu of $150,000 bail Friday for allegedly throwing a concrete block into a West Englewood apartment, severely injuring a 7-month-old girl, the Chicago Sun-Times is reporting.
The infant, who was on a bed at the time of the May 3rd incident, was hit on the head and suffered skull fractures, bleeding in the brain and head trauma, Assistant State's Attorney Lorraine Scaduto said.
The child has since been released from the hospital, Scaduto said at Jeremy O'Neal's bond hearing.
Due to the victim's age, it's unclear how her injuries will affect her future development, Scaduto said.
O'Neal, however, has been charged with aggravated battery to a child under 13 causing permanent disability.
