MCKEES ROCKS, Pa. (KDKA) -- A missing 8-month-old girl was found safe, but her father is now wanted on an arrest warrant in connection with an assault in Wilmerding.
Allegheny County Police are looking for 28-year-old Nicholas Lomax after they were called to a domestic disturbance on Middle Avenue Tuesday morning. Police say they learned Lomax had assaulted a woman in the street, reportedly using a stun gun-type weapon. Police say the woman suffered cuts on her face and leg.
At the time of the alleged assault, Pennsylvania State Police were also looking for Lomax. They had put out a Missing Endangered Person Advisory for his 8-month-old daughter Royalty, who they believed was with her father.
According to county police, Lomax fled the scene in Wilmerding before officers could catch him.
The investigation into Lomax led police to a home in Versailles where his baby daughter was found unharmed.
