RED WING, Minn. (AP) - A 2-year-old was injured early Tuesday when an agitated man tossed the child down a flight of stairs at police officers who were responding to a 911 call.

The child was in critical condition Tuesday.

Timothy Lee Staten, 25, was arrested and is being held in the Goodhue County Jail. He is facing charges of Assault and resisting arrest.

Police said they were called to the man's address about 12:20 a.m. by a 911 caller who said a man was at the residence causing problems.

When police arrived, a hysterical woman told them the man was inside the residence and had possibly assaulted the child. When police entered, they said they saw the man shaking the child.

Police ordered the man to release the child, but instead he threw the child down some stairs at them.

An officer brought the child to a waiting ambulance. The child was later flown to St. Marys Hospital in Rochester.

Police said the man "extensively" resisted the four officers who subdued him.

According to local news reports, the man also bit the child. Police had to taser him several times to subdue him.

He is the father of the child.

"He is the father of the child."

I could think of a lot of things to call him, but "father" wouldn't be one of them.

According to bioethicists like Michael Schiavo's Doctor who is treating Terri, it;s okay to toss an infant because an infant does not have self awareness, cognitive thinking. It's what they call a "non-person". Therefore, no crime has been committed. HOWEVER, had this been a dog or a cat that was thrown at the authorities, he should be arrested and charged with aggravated assault on a cat-person or dog-person, and if this cat-person or dog-person dies, charged with murder of a "person".

Just a horrible, horrible thing. Poor baby.

A friend of the mother's was on the news, telling how she couldn't go in the house to help the baby. It was heartbreaking.

Oh my gosh! He will probably be committed for about 4 weeks and then release.

If he robbed a bank, he'd be in for life.

That Sir, is why you are loosing the debate.

Your emotions and morality is in the right place, but how it is being applied, is simply missing the mark.

You Sir, are causing more damage, than helping.

Obviously he didnt resist enough since it is a live mug shot and not a picture from the coroner.

FR is literally clogged with circus threads.

Take it over to one of them, and quit trying to hijack this one.

It does sound very satanic.

The baby's face was reportedly disfigured and she was bitten severely.

What's with Minnesota lately? It's a world gone mad.

I'm sure the usual suspects will blame this on Pawlenty too.

What mid-western State had the majority of voters choose John Kerry for President?

Giggle: John Kerry has been so forgotten, it took me a few minutes to remember his name!
