A Hicksville man was arrested Thursday for assaulting his girlfriend and shoving his 1-year-old daughter last month, police say.

According to authorities, 30-year-old Luis Urrutia got into an argument with his 21-year-old girlfriend at their Princess Street home on Saturday, June 16. Police say the argument led to Urrutia slashing the woman's hand with a box cutter, ripping hair out of her head and forcibly taking her cellphone when she tried to call police. He also shoved their daughter to the ground, causing her to hit her head, police say. Both the child and girlfriend were taken to a local hospital for treatment.

Urrutia fled the scene on foot, police say.

Following an investigation, Urrutia was arrested in front of an Andover Road home in East Hills on Thursday. Police say Urrutia resisted arrest, injuring a detective.

He was charged with three counts of second-degree assault, third-degree robbery, second-degree menacing, fourth-degree criminal possession of a weapon, second-degree coercion, fourth-degree criminal mischief, third-degree assault, resisting arrest, endangering the welfare of a child and second-degree obstructing governmental administration. He was additionally found to have an open Family Court arrest warrant.

He will be arraigned on Friday at First District Court in Hempstead.
