WARREN, Ohio - A Youngstown man is facing charges after his 2 month old suffered from several broken ribs.

Christopher Elliott, 20, was booked into the Trumbull County Jail Monday. He's been indicted on a felonious assault and child endangering charge.

The charges stem from an investigation out of Warren.

Detective Nick Carney said a family member took the baby to Akron Children's Hospital in Boardman because the 2 month old was acting strange. That's when the baby was found with broken bones. Investigators think the alleged abuse happened over time since there were healing ribs and fresh breaks.
