A man has been arrested and charged after a baby was found with life-threatening injuries at a home in Glenrothes, Fife.
Police were called to an address in Minto Crescent on Friday June 5 after concerns were raised for the youngster.
The baby - who was just 11-weeks-old at the time - was taken to Edinburgh's Royal Hospital for Sick Children where they were found to be in a ‘critical’ condition.
It is now understood that the child will suffer long-term effects from the injuries sustained.
The baby continues to be treated in hospital.
Specialist forensic officers remained at the address in the Macedonia area for around seven days while a police guard was also put in place.
Investigators have since arrested and charged a 29-year-old man in connection with the incident.
He appeared at Kirkcaldy Sheriff Court on June 26.
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “We received a report of concern for an infant child at 9am on Friday, 5 June, at Minto Crescent in Glenrothes.
"The child was taken to hospital in Edinburgh with life threatening injuries. A 29-year-old man has been arrested and charged in connection with the incident.
“He appeared at Kirkcaldy Sheriff Court on Friday, 26 June."
