Another toddler was inside the home but was not hurt.
Columbus Fire medics were called to the 900 block of North 4th Street in Italian Village around 5PM Wednesday on reports of an unresponsive infant. Hours later, Nationwide Children’s Hospital notified police that the child’s condition appeared to be the result of foul play.
He remains in critical condition on life support, according to court records.
Tustin has been charged with felonious assault and is scheduled to be arraigned Friday morning in Franklin County Municipal Court.
