Fort Lee Man Accused of Beating Infant Son

Bergen County prosecutors have accused a Fort Lee man of beating his 5-month-old son.

Authorities say 38-year-old Yoseop Choi brought the boy to a New York City hospital on Tuesday. The child was in cardiac arrest. He also had a severe head injury and a healing rib fracture.

Prosecutors say Choi violently shook and assaulted his son during a two-month period.

The baby remains in critical condition at Bellevue Hospital.

Choi is held on $750,000 bail, charged with aggravated assault and child endangerment.

It's not known if the married college student has a lawyer who can comment on the charges.
