A boy was given a 50 percent chance of survival after a vicious beating by his father resulted in him rupturing his spleen and left him unconscious. 39-year-old Joshua Dossey has been arrested and charged with second-degree assault in connection to the attack which occurred at his home in Louisville, Kentucky and was booked into jail.

According to Louisville's WLKY-TV, Dossey and his son got into an argument at their residence in the 10,000 block of Ledbury Way on Friday, December 14, and then began exchanging punches. Dossey reportedly told investigators that he grabbed his son and punched him in the face to discipline and restrain him after the boy spat on him and hit him.
