A young father is being accused of biting off the nose of his one-year old son in a fit of anger toward the child.
According to police, 18-year old Joshua Cooper of Fairfield, California, USA, was so upset about the baby's incessant crying, he bit off a big piece of the child's nose to get him to be quiet.
The child's 17-year old mother called police after the incident, seeing that the baby was bleeding on his nose.
Police took the baby to Oakland Children's Hospital, where doctors say that one-third of the child's nose had been taken off, and that he also had a fractured skull and brain hemorrhage.
Fairfield Police said in a statement: "The criminal investigation determined that the infant's father had bitten the child's nose off out of frustration from the infant crying. The investigation continues to determine how the infant sustained the skull fracture and brain hemorrhage."
