ALTAMONTE SPRINGS, Fla. — An Altamonte Springs man is facing serious charges, accused of beating up a 14-year-old boy.

Investigators said Omar Monserrate punched and choked the teen because he was found with Monserrate's 13-year-old daughter.

The boy’s mother came home, noticed bruises on his face and neck, and rushed the boy to the hospital.

Monserrate has a criminal history, including domestic violence.
