An Alice Springs man has been remanded in custody after being charged with assaulting a two-year-old girl.

The 24-year-old is accused of throwing his stepdaughter into the air and letting her fall onto a road in an Alice Springs town camp on Monday night.

Police say he then picked the girl up by her wrists and threw her in a stroller.

When she fell out of the pram because she was unconscious, he threw her in again, police allege.

The girl is in a stable condition in the Alice Springs Hospital.

The man is charged with recklessly endangering the child and causing serious harm.

He did not apply for bail today and will face the Alice Springs Magistrates Court again next month.
