A Brooklyn man yesterday threw scalding water at his wife and baby daughter, seriously burning them, police sources said.
Miao Lu, 35, became enraged during a fight with his wife, Ju, 34, who was holding their 1-year-old daughter, Chelsea, inside their Williamsburg apartment. It was not known what they were fighting about.
The father went to a stove and hurled boiling water at them, the sources said. The mother was burned on the face and upper body. The baby suffered burns on her stomach and legs.
Both were in serious condition at New York Hospital’s burn unit. An FDNY spokesman said their injuries weren’t life threatening.
Miao Lu was charged with assault, weapons possession and child abuse.
