A Lake Station, Ind. man was arrested after he was seen crashing a stroller carrying his infant son into the side of a building in the Loop after allegedly shooting up with heroin Wednesday afternoon, police said.

David Sonn, 33, of the 2800 block of Hamilton Street in Lake Station, Ind., was charged with misdemeanor endangering the life and health of a child, according to police.

Sonn was arrested at 3:30 p.m. Wednesday at 193 N. Dearborn Street after police allegedly saw him pushing his 10-month-old son in a stroller, which he then crashed alongside the wall of a building and pushed into newspaper boxes, according to a police report.

When officers stopped him he had a dazed look on his face and appeared to be unaware of his surroundings. Sonn, who had blood trickling down his right arm, allegedly said he had just done heroin and officers placed him into custody.

The baby was transported to Children’s Memorial Hospital where he was checked out and released, according to the report, which said the child was taken into the custody of the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services.

Sonn has 11 prior arrests in the area, four of them for narcotics, according to police.
