Police: Louisiana woman throws baby into vehicle

— A 29-year-old Shreveport woman is behind bars after allegedly throwing her 10-month-old baby into a stopped car through an open window.

Shreveport police say the baby’s father told investigators that he was in the front seat and caught the child when it was thrown to him, but the boy’s head hit the car’s metal window frame.

Police said Monday that Carmen L. Paul was booked Saturday night with second degree cruelty to a juvenile.

A news release says the father brought the baby to a hospital Saturday, and doctors found a fractured skull and bleeding around the brain. The statement says the boy was in stable condition Monday.

Police say the couple reportedly was arguing about money.
