A man accused of assaulting his girlfriend and at least one of her two children will go to trial next month.
The 24-year-old man, whose name is withheld to protect the identity of the boy he is alleged to have assaulted, was arrested on June 16 after a resident in Glendale reported seeing a man kicking a small boy.
Investigating officers found a six-year-old boy in medical distress, wearing a diaper, smeared in feces and suffering burn marks on his arms. Doctors also found damage to the corneas of both of his eyes.
The man was charged with multiple counts of assault and assault with a weapon.
He remains in custody pending his trial, set for Nov. 15.
