A Salina man in jail on charges of aggravated battery, child abuse, battery and obstruction, following an incident Sunday evening where the man is alleged to have hit and strangled a woman and young boy and hit four other children.

Police Captain Mike Sweeney said officers were sent to Salina Regional Health Center where a woman and elementary school age boy were being treated after being hit and strangled.

Officers were sent to a south Salina home and arrested 30-year-old Darris Brown.

The woman and boy were treated and released from the hospital.

Captain Sweeney said officers believe alcohol was a factor in the case.
