CLERMONT, FL - Police jailed a Clermont man on a charge of aggravated battery Saturday, accusing him of striking his wife with a toy-train track.
According to a police report, a 4-year-old told police that his mom and dad were fighting and his father threw a piece of Thomas the Tank Engine train track at his mother.
Sheik Ali, 47, admitted hurling the metal track, but said it did not hit his wife, Bebi.
According to the report, Bebi Ali said she was not injured, but "felt safer" without her husband in the home.
