A 28-year-old man who was naked, bleeding and under the influence of drugs attacked a 9-month baby in a stroller Monday night in Atlantic City, authorities said.

The baby was bought to AtlantiCare Regional Medial Center to be treated for injuries not considered life-threatening, police said in a statement.

Moments before approaching a woman pushing the infant in a stroller, Stephon Whitfield, of Atlantic City, tried to enter a man’s vehicle to steal money, authorities said.

Cops arrived on the 1300 block of Caspian Avenue around 9:30 p.m. after someone called 911 to report a naked man repeatedly banging on the door of an apartment building.

Whitfield was charged with aggravated assault, endangering the welfare of a child and disorderly conduct. He was evaluated at AtlantiCare hospital before being brought to the Atlantic County jail Tuesday morning.

Whitfield has a lengthy criminal record with convictions for obstruction, theft and contempt, according to public records.
