Spring Lake Park Man Charged In Baby's Beating

ANOKA, Minn. (AP) ― A 24-year-old Spring Lake Park man is in custody for allegedly beating a 7-month-old baby so badly that the boy was left in a coma.
  
James C. McCartney is charged with first-degree assault. Police say he was baby-sitting his girlfriend's child Thursday when the boy began crying and McCartney struck the boy in the head.
  
The boy suffered a fractured skull and bleeding in the brain. He was in intensive care at North Memorial hospital on Friday, but his condition Saturday was unavailable.
  
McCartney is at the Anoka County Jail and can't be reached for comment. A recording at the jail says inmates can't receive incoming calls and messages aren't given to inmates.
