24-year-old Christian Rodriguez has been charged in connection with the death of his baby in the Bronx, police say.
First responders took 1-month-old Aiden Rodriguez to the hospital with severe injuries to his head.
The boy later died.
Both parents were initially questioned, but the boy's 22-year-old mother was released.
He told cops he was taking the boy home when he “inadvertently struck the child’s head against the wall,” a police source told The Post.
The father, who police say has four other children with the mother, has a prior arrest for felony assault of another one of his children.
Autopsy results are expected to be pending further testing.
Aiden's 5-year-old brother has been removed from the household by ACS, which has no prior interaction with the family, and placed with his grandmother.
