A day care worked in Cranberry has been charged with assaulting a 3-year-old boy during naptime.
Court records show 26-year-old Joshua Branstetter is charged with endangering the welfare of children and simple assault after police said he injured the boy at the Allie Alligator on Commerce Park Drive.
Police said Branstetter had his hand on the boy's back and forcefully pushed the boy back down onto his bed and he hit his face off of the bed-frame.
The criminal complaint says the boy had injuries to his left eye, including swelling and he needed a medical evaluation.
The next scheduled hearing for Branstetter is June 27.
