An Elizabethtown man was arrested early Saturday morning on a felony charge after he struck his adult son in the head with a claw hammer.
David Byron Fultz, 63, was charged with second-degree assault and alcohol intoxication in a public place.
Elizabethtown police responded to an apartment complex on West Dixie Avenue Friday night. According to an arrest citation, the son was knocked unconscious and had a laceration that required three staples to close. He was airlifted to University Hospital in Louisville.
Fultz is being held in the Hardin County Detention Center in lieu of a $10,000 cash bond. He is scheduled to be arraigned on the charges at 8:30 a.m. Tuesday in Hardin District Court.
