A man has been charged with the attempted murder of his 5-month-old daughter in the coalfields.
Child Abuse and Sex Crimes Squad detectives arrested the 26-year-old at a Cessnock home yesterday (Wednesday 17 February, 2021).
It follows a two-month investigation into how the little girl came to be admitted to a local hospital with critical injuries on December 12.
She was later transferred to the John Hunter Hospital for ongoing treatment.
The man faced Cessnock Local Court where he was refused bail to face the same court on Wednesday April 14.
