A Bronx father is arraigned for brutally beating his 4-year-old child with a baseball bat.

Noel Morales is facing a slew of assault charges for allegedly leaving his daughter with contusions to her liver, bruising on her stomach, and a broken arm.

Back in January, Morales and the mother of his child got into a dispute inside their Soundview home.

When the mother left for work, Morales swung a bat at his daughter repeatedly.

One long-time neighbor says this terrible incident hits too close to home.

"It hits home hard when you hear stuff happening, in other neighborhoods," the neighbor said. "It doesn't bother you as much. But when it hits you — a building right next to you — I took it real, real hard. Especially for a four-year-old young lady to go through that."

Morales is due back in Bronx Supreme Court in May.
