INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) - Metro police have arrested the father of a 4-month-old baby in critical condition and on a ventilator at Riley Hospital for Children.
The arrest comes after the Department of Child Services and Metro detectives questioned the infants parents.
The father, 21-year-old Elvin Cabrera, told investigators the baby was ill Friday night so he took him to Wishard Hospital.
Doctors transferred the baby to Riley Hospital and called the Department of Child Services. DCS notified police at about 4:00 p.m. Saturday.
Investigators have questioned the parents and talked to doctors. According to police, doctors say the injuries the baby suffered caused severe brain trauma and may be consistent with Shaken Baby Syndrome.

=================================
Investigators arrested 21-year-old Elvin Cabrera for aggravated battery Tuesday night after interviewing him about his injured son.
Police say Cabrera told detectives his son fell off the bed. The family lives in an apartment near 39th and Post Road.
The child's mother called police last Friday after their son became ill. But when officers arrived, his father had already taken him to the hospital. That's where doctors alerted police about the boy's condition.
"The doctors say the child has severe brain trauma. This is a child abuse case," said Lt. Jeff Duhamell, IMPD.
Police say a brain scan showed evidence of the type of injury associated with shaken baby syndrome.
