A man threw a 1-year-old child strapped in a car seat aside, before he was attacked with a bat during a dispute in West Philadelphia on Wednesday morning, 7/10. It happened just before 10:30 a.m. at 42nd and Lancaster Ave. A 31-year-old woman and a 39-year-old man got into an argument while inside a tan Acura sedan. The woman got out of the car with a bat and began smashing the car's windows. She even threw a brick through the rear window. The man got out of the car and removed the car seat with the 1-year-old child inside from the back seat. The woman then approached the man and baby brandishing the bat. Witnesses say that the man threw the car seat onto a grassy area with the baby inside. The woman then struck the man several times over the head with the baseball bat. Police arrested the woman. The man was taken to Penn Presbyterian Medical Center. The baby was taken Children's Hospital of Philadelphia in stable condition for an abrasion to the forehead.

A 66-year-old man has turned himself in to police in connection with a fatal hit-and-run accident in Gloucester Township, New Jersey on Tuesday night, 7/8. 66-year-old Bruce Bennett of Franklinville was charged with leaving the scene of a motor vehicle accident resulting in death. The accident happened around 8:15 p.m. on the 2000 block of Sicklerville Road in Sicklerville. Bennett is accused of hitting a teenager and then fleeing the scene. Police responded to find 18-year-old Trohkeem Brantley lying on the road. He was taken to Jefferson Washington Township Hospital where he died from his injuries. Bennett surrendered to police and turned in his vehicle. He was released pending his next court date.

Hahnemann University Hospital and Drexel University announced on Wednesday, 7/10, that they plan to transfer their residency and fellowship programs to Tower Health. A statement reads, "Under the letter of intent, Tower Health will assume the responsibility for the continued training of residents and fellows in these programs, while giving those physicians the right to be placed in one of Tower Health's six hospitals, many of which are in close proximity to Hahnemann." Tower Health operates six hospitals in the region including Reading Hospital, Brandywine Hospital, Chestnut Hill Hospital, Jennersville Hospital, Phoenixville Hospital, and Pottstown Hospital. Drexel University and Tower Health had signed a 20-year academic agreement this past February. Tower Health is looking to hire the faculty teaching now at Hahnemann. This affects around 500 residents.
