A man was arrested after beating his girlfriend’s son and allegedly cutting his genitals with his fingernails.

As cited News24xx.com from TOI, the authorities said that the man named Mohammad Mahmoud Shaar, 26, of Coconut Creek, Florida, dropped off his girlfriend at her workplace last Thursday, before taking her four-year-old son to a babysitter’s home.

Shaar allegedly attacked the boy when he became increasingly upset after his mother got out of the car.

Known that the babysitter’s home was only 1.6 miles away from the mother’s place of work, but Shaar took 20 minutes to get there.

The babysitter said the the boy was crying and shaking when he arrived and Shaar left without giving her any explanation about what happened.

As reported Local10.com, Bothwell Namuswa, Deputy Police Commissioner for Florida, told that the pair are essentially separated and live under the same roof in separate rooms.
