The baby girl whose throat was being slashed when Amherst police used a Taser device to bring down the man holding her was transferred out of the intensive care unit in Women&Children’s Hospital late Friday, authorities said.
The 6-month-old girl was transferred to a regular room in the hospital, one day after the dramatic encounter between the assailant and three Amherst police officers.
Police charged Jeffrey Hernandez, 19, of Sweeney Street, North Tonawanda, with felony counts of attempted murder and assault. He was identified by police as the boyfriend of the baby’s mother.
