Father accused of beating 3-month-old boy

A 21-year-old man was arrested on multiple counts of child abuse after his 3-month-old son was rushed to a hospital in critical condition Monday.

Las Vegas police said Andrew Mendoza's son suffered multiple injuries consistent with blunt-force trauma to the abdomen. The baby also had bite marks. He was in critical condition Tuesday evening.

At 7 p.m. Monday, police were called to the 3900 block of South Decatur Boulevard, near Flamingo Road, because the child was unresponsive.

Mendoza was booked into the Clark County Detention Center Tuesday on eight counts of child abuse, one count of child abuse with substantial bodily harm, one count of child neglect and one count of child endangerment.
