Child Custody Dispute Leads to Injury and Arrest

A dispute over a child custody arrangement has led to the hospitalization of a young girl.

The Victorville Daily Press reports that Nicolas Alexander, 26, was arrested for throwing an object at a moving vehicle containing his children, and then trying to pull the children out of the vehicle while it was still moving.

Authorities say Alexander and the children's mother were fighting over a court-ordered child custody arrangement. Police were called after one of the children, a 5-year-old girl, suffered traumatic injuries. According to reports she jumped out of the vehicle when Alexander opened the door to pull the kids out.

The girl was transported to a nearby hospital, but it is believed she was not seriously hurt.
