Brianna Lafoe, 19, and Sierrah Newell, 20, were taken into custody by Daytona Beach police on charges of child abuse, the Daytona Beach News-Journal reported.

Police responded to the Coyote Ugly Saloon just after midnight according to an arrest affidavit. Witnesses told police that Lafoe and Newell were throwing the baby into the air, flipping him upside down and tossing him back and forth over a distance of about 4 feet above concrete “like a toy,” according to court records.

Police did not report the relationship between the women and the baby.

Daytona Police officials said the baby was taken to a local hospital with red marks on his back and a possible broken arm. The child has since been released from the hospital.
