According to the military police, the incident took place shortly after one in the morning. The woman said that her husband came home drunk and the quarrel began because he could not change his daughter. Then he started punching the woman and pushing her against the closet.

When she took her cell phone to call the police, he allegedly took the device and threw it at the wall. At that moment, the cell phone hit the face of the baby, who was lying on the bed, and severe nosebleeds began. The woman said that her husband became even more aggressive due to the bleeding of his daughter.

After reporting the victim, the police located the man, who confirms the whole situation. He was arrested and taken to the police station.
