It was estimated that the boy, who is seven to eight months old at the time, underwent emergency surgery. The child spent the night in ICU.
It is thought that he’s in stable condition, and that he’s currently in the hospital recovering.
Western Australian police said that the death of his victim is not being treated suspiciously by Homicide detectives.
Police will prepare a report after the investigation is handed over to the Coroner.
