NOTTINGHAM, Md. (WJZ) -- An 11-year-old Baltimore County boy was impaled by an object his father allegedly struck him with, police say.

The boy was taken to an area hospital. His condition is unknown.
The injured officer was also taken to an area hospital for treatment.
The identity of the suspect is being withheld until he is formally charged.
