CENTEREACH, N.Y. (AP) - A Long Island baby is now safe with relatives. Authorities say her drunken father pushed her stroller along a busy road late at night.

Suffolk County police say the 3-month-old was crying as her father "dangerously" pushed her stroller along Route 25 in Centerreach. Witnesses said he let go of the stroller several times.

Police say the father also took a swing at an officer before he was subdued with Mace.

Charges following the weekend incident include child endangerment, resisting arrest and harassment.
