South Australia Police have arrested a man and a woman after a baby was allegedly assaulted in Adelaide’s south.

The four-week-old baby was taken to hospital in May with a swollen leg. Tests showed the baby had sustained serious injuries, including bone fractures, SA Police said.

A 34-year-old woman and a 33-year-old man from Reynella East were arrested yesterday after an investigation into the baby’s injuries by detectives from the Southern District Criminal Investigation Branch.
