A one-year-old boy’s skull was fractured after he was caught in the middle of a fight between his mum and two adults.
The incident took place in East Deer Township, Pennsylvania.
The baby’s mum was staying with her family on Clarks Pike Road and told police she had been having disagreements with her brother, Lewis Davis, and his girlfriend, Catalina Hirth, according to court paperwork.
On November 1, police were called to their home after a fight turned physical.
The mother allegedly put the mother on the step before Hirth hurled a cup at her.

The two women then got into a physical altercation and punches were thrown. Her brother then joined in, punching her head.
The woman told police she was on the staircase below where the baby was when someone threw a vase at her, it missed her and hit the steps.
She said she grabbed a wooden kitchen cabinet door that was used as a baby gate and used it to defend herself.
She threw it at Davis, who grabbed it and threw it back at her.
Once again the mom deflected, and the cabinet landed on the stairs, police said.
The fight only ended when they heard the baby begin screaming.
He was bleeding from the head and police were called.
The child was taken to a children’s hospital.
Doctors said the boy had a depressed skull fracture and a laceration to his scalp and had to have emergency surgery.
His mother’s injuries included a laceration on her forehead and multiple scratches.
Davis and Hirth are facing multiple counts of aggravated assault, recklessly endangering another person and criminal conspiracy.
