A New York City child services worker has been arrested, accused of abusing a child at a Brooklyn shelter, state authorities say.
Carl Hosannah, 59, of Brooklyn, allegedly hit the child in the face at a Brooklyn facility where the child was living, according to the state's Justice Center for the Protection of People With Special Needs, which is prosecuting the case.
The incident happened in June.
Hosannah was working as a congregate care specialist with the ACS Children's Center. He has since been reassigned, officials say.
Hosannah was arraigned in Manhattan Criminal Court on charges of misdemeanor child endangerment and a violation of second-degree harassment.
Attorney information for Hosannah wasn't immediately available.
