A mentally ill Floridian, Pierre Francois, 29, first attacked his mother in their Fort Lauderdale home by beating her with a two-by-four as she demanded him to stop hurting her during a schizophrenic episode, the Broward County Sheriff’s Office said.
Francois then began hitting his 1-year-old daughter and the girl’s mother who pleaded “don’t hit us,” according to an arrest report obtained by WTVJ-TV.
Officers found Francois had thrown the toddler outside a one-story window, and was laying face down in the family’s front yard, the arrest report says.
The girlfriend had stab wounds in her face, eyes and throat, police said.
The baby girl was on life support with a traumatic brain injury, WTVJ reported.
Man allegedly stabs girlfriend’s eyes, throws daughter out window
A mentally ill Florida man was arrested for allegedly beating his mother and stabbing his girlfriend’s eyes before throwing their 1-year-old daughter out a window Saturday, authorities said. …
He stood over the woman clubbing her with two-by-four demanding to know what she did with his mother. The woman begged her mentally ill son to stop, explaining that she was fact his mother.
She tried to get away from Pierre Francois but kept slipping on her own blood. He ordered her to stay where she was, moving onto the next room where Francois’ girlfriend clung to their daughter.
Francois is accused of slicing his girlfriend’s throat and plunging a knife into both of her eyes blinding her, according to a detailed report in court records. His 1-year-old daughter, the Broward Sheriff’s Office says, appears to have had her nose bitten off.
The baby’s mother is not expected to be able to see again, Broward Assistant State Attorney Eric Linder said during a court appearance Monday. She also has a lacerated trachea and liver among other injuries.
The baby girl is being treated in the intensive care unit for traumatic brain injuries and is not responding, the prosecutor said in court. She was in critical condition Tuesday, according to Sgt. Don Prichard of the Sheriff’s Office.
“The infant suffers from what appears to be a skull fracture, as well as it appears that (her) nose was bitten off,” he said. “This was a very, very gruesome scene that the deputies encountered, and it was caused by a family member.”
