A father is in custody after he allegedly threw a television at his own son.

Police say the unidentified man and the 12-year-old boy were inside a home on the 3000 block of Ruth Street in the Kensington section of the city around 5:15 a.m. when the alleged assault took place.

The man threw the TV at the boy, striking him in the head, according to investigators. The boy was taken to St. Christopher’s Hospital where he is currently in stable condition.

The father was arrested and taken into custody. Police have not yet revealed the specific charges against him.

I love this city!

So, we talking about a 19in LCD or a 34in CRT?

Surprised the boy didn't get out of there before the father managed to pick it up and get the plug out

Not the best choice for a weapon but it'll do.

Probably the larger screen. I never did check for a follow-up.

If I find one, I'll let you know

Nothing, and oddly, this was the only station that reported the incident. (Not my preferred local news. Sorry)

I'd have to think the boy probably thought it was just a threat.

How wrong he was
