A Fort Lauderdale man was arrested over the weekend after he tried to saw a cast off his son's hand and severely cut the teenager, according to a Coral Springs police affidavit released on Monday.
Lawrence Roberts, 33, was arrested Sunday and charged with aggravated child abuse, a first-degree felony, punishable by up to 30 years in prison.
Police said his 15-year-old son needed emergency surgery.
According to the affidavit, Roberts arrived at the home where the son lives in the 3900 block of Jasmine Lane around 11 a.m.
He then retrieved a 10-inch circular saw, usually used to cut wood, from his Chevrolet Silverado and tried to cut the purple cast off his son's right hand, the affidavit said.
"The defendant cut off the top of the victim's right thumb, [and] the middle of the victim's right index finger was almost cut entirely off," the affidavit said.
Roberts' son, according to the affidavit, also received a 3-inch-long cut on his right hand, between his thumb and index finger.
