Man Suspected of Abusing Baby Arrested, Charged

A Tampa Bay area man has been charged with attempted murder after police say he kicked, punched and bit an 11-month old boy.

Pinellas Park police say 31-year-old Glen Franklin Neal Jr., who was wanted on the charge, was arrested Sunday.

Police say the child was brought to All Children's Hospital in St. Petersburg on July 5, suffering from a severe head injury with bleeding on the brain. Investigators say they believe Neal abused the boy. Police say there is no word yet on the condition of the child.

Police haven't confirmed Neal's relationship to the boy but say he was responsible for the child's care.

Neal's criminal history includes arrests on charges of child neglect, resisting arrest, fleeing to elude, cocaine possession and battery on a law enforcement officer.
