SPRINGHILL, FL -- A Springhill man has been charged with the attempted murder of his 3 month old son. Hernando Sheriff's deputies were called to Oak Hill Hospital yesterday in reference to a seriously injured baby.

The baby's father, 23 year old Michael Mihok, told deputies that he had fallen asleep on the couch with the baby in his arms. He claimed the baby fell out of his arms and on to the carpeted floor.

Hospital officials say the injuries were not consistent with what the father had claimed happened.
In a second interview with a deputy, the father admitted that he had "lost it" because the baby would not stop crying and he threw the baby in the crib. The father also told deputies that he then punched the baby in the back of the head about 4 times.

The baby has been flown to All Children's Hospital and is listed in serious condition.

The father has been charged with attempted felony murder and bodily injury.
