A 6-week-old Portsmouth baby remains in critical condition and her father has been charged in the injuries, in Myrtle Beach, S.C.

Mylee Ferguson is listed in critical condition at Medical University of South Carolina, after being transported there Sunday afternoon.

Details are sketchy surrounding the case, in which the baby's father, Miles Lee Ferguson, 24, of Portsmouth, is charged with assault and battery with intent to kill.

According to a spokesperson with the Horry County, S.C. Police Department, Ferguson remains incarcerated in the J. Reuben Long Detention Center on the original charge.
