Bristol Township police were called to the high school on Wistar Road at 6:08 p.m. on May 18 for a report of a fight in progress.
An officer arriving at the scene requested an ambulance for a young child who had been struck, police said.
According to police, the child’s parents told officers they were sitting on the back bleachers when a fight broke out in the stands. A man involved in the altercation allegedly threw a punch that struck their 1-year-old son in the face.
