Toddler dangled over motel railing
A 25-year-old Northridge man who allegedly dangled his girlfriend’s 18-month-old daughter from a second-story motel railing in Sylmar on Tuesday was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder, authorities said.
Los Angeles police officers responding to reports of a kidnapping in progress about 1 a.m. found Antonio Llerenas fighting with his girlfriend at the Del Monico Motel at 13055 San Fernando Road, police said.
Llerenas, who is not the baby’s father, reportedly struggled with police.
Llerenas also allegedly choked the toddler and threatened to throw her over the railing several times before officers subdued him with a Taser, police said.
Llerenas is being held in lieu of $1-million bond.
