Batavia Man Arrested, Charged in Alleged Child Assault Case

Buffalo, NY, October 6, 2026 — A Batavia resident, identified as Ty’Heem Jordan, has been arrested and faces multiple charges in connection with an incident involving an infant. Authorities have charged Jordan with reckless assault of a child and endangering the welfare of a child.

The charges stem from allegations that Jordan shook an infant, resulting in serious physical injury to the child. The specific details regarding the timeline of the alleged incident, the exact nature of the injuries sustained by the infant, and the location where the alleged assault took place, beyond it involving a resident of Batavia, were not immediately available.

The arrest and subsequent charges were announced by local authorities. Information regarding the date of the arrest, the specific law enforcement agency handling the case, and any further proceedings, such as arraignment or bail information, was not provided in the initial summary of the trend.

The charge of reckless assault of a child implies actions taken by the defendant that disregarded a substantial and unjustifiable risk that such injury would result. Endangering the welfare of a child is a charge often brought when an adult’s actions or omissions create a situation where a child’s physical, mental, or moral well-being is at risk. The summary indicated that the alleged shaking indeed led to serious physical injury.

Further details regarding the investigation, the condition of the infant, and the legal process moving forward have not yet been disclosed. Information concerning the victim or the relationship between the victim and the accused was also not made public.
