A Belmont man faces a charge of child abuse after police say he hit his son in the eye Friday.

According to a citation, Floyd R. Johnson, 50, of 199 Belmont-Mount Holly Road, Belmont, injured his son, causing a knot and swelling on his right eye. The child was younger than 16, but the citation did not specify the age of the child.

Johnson was released from Gaston County Jail Friday after posting a $500 bond.
