A 16-year-old Toledo boy was arrested this morning for allegedly assaulting his father with a baseball bat.

Police and aid were called about 1:15 a.m. to the home on the 300 block of Oak Street in Toledo.

The 55-year-old father suffered major trauma to his head, according to responders.

“He was flown to Harborview, I think at this point is in critical condition,” Toledo Police Chief John Brockmueller said this morning.

Brockmueller said the son left, but returned home later this morning and was picked up to be transported to the Lewis County Juvenile Detention Center.

He was to be booked for first-degree assault, Brockmueller said.

The police chief said he didn’t yet have all the details.
