Las Vegas police say a man was arrested Saturday after his 2-month-old child was fatally injured when thrown off a second-floor apartment balcony during a domestic disturbance.
Police say the father drove off, getting involved in two auto collisions en route to the Las Vegas airport where he was arrested.
Police said the man and the child’s mother had been arguing before the child was thrown off the balcony.
Lt. Ray Spencer said the man was taken to a hospital for treatment of injuries from the crashes and evaluation for drug use.
The fire caused significant damage to the apartment.
No identities were immediately released.
