Plainfield police have arrested a man accused of deliberately hurting a 3-month-old girl in his care.
Robert P. Tarkowski, 36, of South Main Street in the Moosup section of Plainfield, was charged Saturday morning in connection with the alleged child abuse. Police said the baby suffered multiple fractures to her arm and skull.
She was taken to Windham Hospital in Willimantic, then transferred to Connecticut Children's Medial Center in Hartford, where she's undergoing treatment.
Police searched Tarkowski's home on Friday and arrested him Saturday morning at 14 Miller Road in Sterling. He was charged with first-degree assault, risk of injury to a minor and reckless endangerment.
Tarkowski is being held on $250,000 bond and is scheduled to appear at Danielson Superior Court on March 30.
