Police have charged 21-year-old Jaison Worden, of Norwich, with first-degree assault and risk of injury to a minor after the state Department of Children and Families contacted them on Aug. 7 to report allegations of child abuse.

Police said the 3-month-old baby suffered trauma and suspicious injuries and was transferred to Connecticut Children’s Medical Center for more extensive care.
