An 8-year-old boy was seriously injured Monday when an SUV was “intentionally” driven into an apartment at Lenox Park Apartments, according to Gainesville Police.
Erickson Mondesir, 19, is charged with Serious Injury by Vehicle as well as four traffic violations.
“The vehicle did cause significant damage to the building,” police spokesman Kevin Holbrook wrote in an email. “(The child) did receive serious injuries, as he was inside the apartment at the time of the crash. He was transported to CHOA (Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta) via air ambulance.”
Lt. Holbrook added that Mondesir left the scene on foot but was caught a short time later by officers.
