Nashua, N.H. man arrested after allegedly assaulting 3-month-old son
Local News
Babcock is accused of squeezing the child, laying his chest on him, and punching him in the back, fracturing his ribs, femurs, and clavicle.
A New Hampshire man was arrested last week on assault charges after he allegedly seriously injured his 3-month-old son, police said.
Drew Babcock, 36, is charged with eight counts of first degree domestic assault, the Nashua police said in a release last Friday. Babcock was arrested and held without bail before an arraignment on Monday.
Babcock is accused of squeezing the child, laying his chest on him, and punching him in the back, according to court records, per The Boston Globe. The child suffered fractured ribs, fractured femurs, and a fractured clavicle, the records said.
Babcock pleaded not guilty on Monday to the charges, the Globe reported.
The state’s Department of Children, Youth and Families reported the 3-month-old child’s “serious injuries,” to Nashua police on Friday, the department said. Police then launched an investigation that led to Babcock’s arrest.
Babcock remained in custody Wednesday ahead of a Thursday bail hearing before a Hillsborough County Superior Court South judge, court records show.
His lawyer, Joseph Fricano, did not return a request for comment.

“Imagine you were coming just down to the beach to enjoy a holiday in the water and then you feel something at your foot and it’s a bag,” scout Logan George of Pack 177 said. “We help our community, we help our friends, we’re always kind and trustworthy and we help other people.”
The Cub Scouts do several other cleanups each year, including along the highway and on the side of roads around Hampton.

BOW, NH — Bow police and fire and rescue teams were sent to a crash on Sunday afternoon, not far from a previous crash earlier this month.
At 2:30 p.m., Concord Fire Alarm reported a crash involving multiple vehicles not far from the intersection of Page Road and Clinton Street. About 10 minutes later, a battalion commander told dispatch there were three vehicles involved and two patients were being evaluated. Dispatch asked if EMTs needed a retone for an engine, and the commander said, “Yeah, why don’t you send them.”
News 603 posted a video from the crash scene on Facebook, linked here.
Just before 3 p.m., EMTs cleared the scene after reporting the patients refused transport.
The crash site was not far from a crash on May 1 that sent one driver to Concord Hospital. In July 2024, a fatal motorcycle accident, which took the life of Joseph Kasper of Weare, occured not far from the location of Sunday’s crash.
Not long after, Concord Fire and Rescue teams were sent to a downed tree on Merrimack Street by School Street.
The tree was knocked down after a small storm moved through the region around 2:45 p.m.
