The Jecheon Police Station is questioning the man who is suspected of kicking the crying infant in her face and stomach on multiple occasions while quarreling with his wife earlier this month.

He also allegedly beat her until the baby bled in mid-January. A witness told police the man was violent with the baby once or twice a month since she was 7 months old.

The daughter was taken to a child protection facility and is receiving medical treatment.
