6-year-old child dies days after brutal baseball bat beating in Bridgeport
A 6-year-old child who was brutally beaten with a baseball bat in an attack on his family in Bridgeport last week has died, according to police.
The 33-year-old mother and 4-year-old have since been released from the hospital.
Abdulrahim Sulaiman, 38, of Bridgeport was arrested shortly after the attack. He was originally charged with criminal attempted murder, first-degree assault, risk of injury to a minor, and criminal possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
Police said charges against Sulaiman will now be upgraded to include murder with special circumstances.
