The child was transported to hospital.
Officers located and arrested the suspect shortly after 4 p.m. Sunday.
“In this case, where the accused and the victim are related, there is a lot of information that will not be released at this time,” says Constable Natalya Natyshak. "This is a very serious case where a child is involved, and a child is a victim."
