A 4-year-old girl died after her father threw her 190 feet (58 meters) from a bridge into a river in Australia's second largest city.
A man stopped his 4WD car on the West Gate Bridge during peak hour, stepped out of the car carrying the girl and dropped her over the edge, a police spokesman told local media.
"The child suffered fairly extensive injuries and the paramedics spent some time trying to resuscitate the child,“ said ambulance spokesman Paul Bentley.
The girl's 35-year-old father was arrested just an hour later outside Melbourne's Federal Court, which hears family case matters, with two other children in his car, police said. The father was charged with murder.
