A Harris County father is facing charges after allegations arose that he had assaulted his infant child on multiple occasions. Fox26 Houston reported that deputies from Harris County Constable Precinct 4 Office were dispatched to Memorial Herman Northeast Hospital on Thursday in relation to an assault case.
Upon arrival, it was Child Protective Services that informed the deputies of the physical assault inflicted on an infant patient. In the course of their investigation, deputies identified the assailant as Ezequiel Perez, the child's father, who was accused of repeatedly assaulting the infant, resulting in pain and visible injuries needing medical treatment. Having been arrested, Perez was taken to Harris County Jail with charges of injury to a child against him.
Constable Mark Herman made a statement in a social media post, "Ezequiel Perez was arrested and booked into the Harris County Jail, charged with Injury to a Child." However, information regarding Perez's bond remains undisclosed, as it had not been set by the 183rd District Court at the time of the reports.
