From Hong Kong, “Police are investigating a child abuse case after medical staff found a blood clot in an eight-month-old boy’s brain at a public hospital in Hong Kong.

The case came to light on Wednesday after medical staff called police.

“Medical staff alerted police after an initial examination showed the boy was suffering from bleeding in the brain,” a police source said, adding that further tests were needed.

The boy’s foster family took the infant to Princess Margaret Hospital in Lai Chi Kok due to vomiting last Friday. The source said a blood clot was found in the infant’s brain during the examination.

He said it was possible the boy got the clot after being badly shaken.

The source said the boy was now in a stable condition in hospital.

The boy had been in foster care since June and had lived with the family of three – a couple and their 30-year-old daughter – since November.

Crime squad officers from Kwai Tsing police district were handling the case. No one has been arrested.”
