Police said a one-year-old boy was admitted to a clinic on Abaco with serious injuries and had to be airlifted to New Providence for medical attention.

According to police, the boy was taken to the Marsh Harbour Clinic at 8:45 p.m. on Monday.

Police said the boy was left home with his mother's boyfriend while she was at work.

The physician who examined the boy determined that his injuries were serious and that he should be airlifted to New Providence, Superintendent Noel Curry said.

Curry, the officer in charge of Northern Bahamas, said the boy had injuries about the body, to his hips and arms. "One party said he may have [fallen]," said Curry, adding that the mother alleges something different.

"So we are waiting to see what the doctor has to say before we make a determination."

The boy was listed in stable condition, Curry said. Police also identified a caucasian man who was found lying in the street on Fire Road and Doctor Stratton Drive, Abaco, last week as Matthew Halstead, 46, of Jasmine Circle Naples, Florida.

Police said he had injuries to the face and there was a motorcycle nearby that was still running. According to police, the man was in stable condition in a Florida hospital.

Anyone with information regarding that incident is asked to contact police at 919 or 328-TIPS.
