A California Borough man is facing felony aggravated assault and other charges after State Police say a one-year old baby in his care suffered severe injuries.  State Police were called to 24 year old Lyndon Henderson’s Third Street apartment last weekend.  The child’s mother told police that she had left her son in Henderson’s care.  Henderson claimed the child fell off the couch but appeared to be fine.  The child was transported to UPMC Children’s Hospital.   Washington County District Attorney Jason Walsh says the baby was on a ventilator.  Henderson was arraigned and is being held in the Washington County Jail without bond.  A preliminary hearing is scheduled for December 11.
