A Louisiana man who worked as a labor and delivery nurse is out of a job after he was accused of striking his own 5-month-old baby .

Dustin Clark, 30, was arrested on Tuesday by Ouachita Parish Sheriff's deputies, one day after his friend brought his 5-month-old baby to the hospital. According to court documents obtained by local NBC affiliate KTVE/KARD, Clark told police that on Sunday, his baby became fussy during a feeding and would not stop crying. He then said he "snapped" and allegedly struck the baby in the head.

When the baby was brought to Morehouse General Hospital in Bastrop, Louisiana, the next day, medical staff diagnosed the baby with a fractured skull.
