A West Goshen Township father faces charges after an altercation preceded his 16-year-old son’s brain hemorrhage on Friday, Feb. 5, said a press release from the West Goshen Township Police Department.
West Goshen Township Police and medical personnel responded to the 500 block of Taylors Mill Road in West Chester at 11:32 p.m. on Friday night for the report of a cardiac arrest. Upon arrival, officers learned that the teenage male was unresponsive, the release said.
The victim’s mother told detectives that her son had been involved in a physical altercation with his father and then collapsed. The boy was transported to Chester County Hospital by ambulance, where doctors determined he was suffering a brain hemorrhage and had him flown to the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP). Police said the boy remains in the intensive care unit at CHOP.
After interviewing the 43-year-old father, Christian Joseph Turse, West Goshen detectives charged him with aggravated assault, simple assault, endangering the welfare of a child, and related offenses, the release said.
Turse was arraigned before District Justice Michael J. Cabry III, who set bail at $100,000 unsecured. Turse was released to await a preliminary hearing scheduled for Thursday, Feb. 11, at 8:30 a.m. in West Goshen district court, court records said.
