A Pennsylvania man was charged with attempted homicide weeks after he was arrested for allegedly beating his girlfriend’s 1-year-old son.

The original incident happened on Nov. 23 when Lyndon Henderson, 24, was watching his unnamed girlfriend’s son while she was at work. When she returned home, her son was unresponsive on the couch. The baby was taken to the hospital, where he was diagnosed with a traumatic brain injury and placed on a ventilator. State police also reported that the little boy had a broken vertebrae and had suffered a stroke.

Henderson was arrested on felony charges of aggravated assault, but those charges were upgraded on Dec. 31 to attempted homicide.
