EDINBURG — A man is expected to face charges of injury to a child after he allegedly shook his 3-month-old daughter out of frustration.

Police arrested the 23-year-old suspect Tuesday after the child was hospitalized with a fever on Monday, Lt. Oscar Treviño said.

Medics at the hospital later determined through a CAT scan the girl suffered from a hemorrhage in her brain and other internal injuries, investigators said.

Police questioned the baby’s parents and that’s when the father confessed to shaking the girl because she wouldn’t stop crying, Treviño said.

The father was expected to be arraigned on charges of injury to a child Tuesday. No other information was made available.
