A 32-year-old Calgary man has been charged with attempted murder after having allegedly slashed his infant son several times Saturday morning.

Police responded to home in the 1000 block of Cranston Drive SE at approximately 4:15 a.m. MT following a 911 call.

There, officers found the seriously injured six-month-old and a man they described as "agitated."

The child was in critical condition and was transported by ambulance to Calgary's Children's Hospital. The young boy's condition was later upgraded to stable. Police said on Sunday that he is expected to make a full recovery.

Staff Sgt. Kelly Campbell of the Calgary Police child abuse unit said that officers located the mother, and determined that she was not at the home when the incident took place.

The child abuse unit laid the charges against the father on Sunday. He is expected to make a court appearance on Monday morning.
