A Florida man is facing serious charges after police say he attacked his pregnant girlfriend because she unplugged his video game console. The situation escalated to the point where she was holding their five-month-old baby at the time of the assault.

According to the arrest report, the couple got into an argument when the woman unplugged the gaming system. The suspect, identified as the father of her children, allegedly became enraged and began hitting her. The victim is currently pregnant with the couple's third child.

Deputies arrived at the home to find the woman with visible injuries. She told officers that the man struck her multiple times while she was cradling the infant in her arms. The baby was not physically harmed, but the incident has raised serious concerns about the safety of the children.

The suspect was taken into custody and charged with domestic battery by strangulation, battery on a pregnant person, and child abuse. He is being held without bond. The woman and her children have been placed in a safe location.

This case highlights how quickly a minor disagreement can turn violent, especially when a gaming addiction or anger issues are involved. Authorities urge anyone in a similar situation to seek help immediately.
