Trial date set for Brownsville man who nearly burned baby to death in bathtub
A Brownsville man who allegedly held his 9-month-old son in scalding hot water until pieces of the child’s skin fell off, will be back in front of a judge in August.
Inside his Pitkin Avenue apartment, Andre Madden allegedly placed his then 9-month-old son in a bathtub, drew the bath and held his son’s arm and shoulder while the child cried and moved around on the morning of Oct. 9, 2016, according to a criminal complaint from the Brooklyn DA’s Office.
About two to three minutes later, the boy’s skin began to fall off and the water turned brown.
