MANCHESTER, N.H. — A 19-year-old man has been accused of assaulting a 2-month-old girl who suffered head trauma and bruising, police said Wednesday.

Manchester police responded to a report on March 7 of an unresponsive baby girl. She was brought to a Boston hospital for further treatment, due to the severity of her injuries, police said in a news release. Her current condition wasn't immediately known.

A warrant was issued for the man “who is known to the child,” police said. The man was arrested Tuesday, and charged with first-degree assault.

His bail was set at $10,000 and he awaited a court hearing date. It wasn't known if he had a lawyer.
