The investigation into a domestic incident that happened inside of a car in the area of State Route 245 and Old Mill Road in the town of Seneca resulted in the arrest of a Penn Yan man.
59-year-old Chris Martin is accused of striking his 12-year-old child in the head several times with a closed fist. Martin was taken into custody at 2941 State Routes 5 and 20 and charged with endangering the welfare of a child.
Following arraignment, Martin was released on an appearance ticket for Seneca Town Court.
Police say the victim was not injured as a result of this alleged incident.
The fact that a defendant has been charged with a crime is merely an accusation and the defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.
