CORPUS CHRISTI - A Corpus Christi man is behind bars accused of stabbing his own five-month-old child at a family barbeque.

Family members told police they had gathered at a home in the 700 block of Brandon when the child's father came by to visit the baby who was in the care of his mother.

According to police, the grandmother left 33-year-old Tone Johnson III alone with the baby for just a moment. When she returned, the baby had been stabbed once in the chest.

The five-month-old is now at Driscoll Children's Hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

Johnson surrendered to police late Sunday night and is facing a charge of injury to a child.
