Man arrested on child abuse charges

An Apollo Beach man is charged with child abuse.

Hillsborough County deputies say 26-year-old Joshua Johnson shook a 4-month-old baby, causing brain injuries.

Deputies say Johnson admitted to forcefully picking up the baby and putting her down, bouncing her head against things and not supporting her head.

She is in stable condition at St. Joseph's Children's Hospital, but has extensive brain injuries.

Johnson is in jail on $250,000 bond.
