Parents held in Alcoy after baby ‘seriously injured’. THE National Police arrested the pàir on suspicion of causing serious injuries to their three-month-old daughter. The child was admitted to Valencia Clinical Hospital ICU with rib fractures and bruises. “The mistreatment that she presented in the family environment prompted the hospital to inform the court to begin investigations into the case”, said police.
