32-year old Fort Myers Beach resident Ryan Ray was arrested early Sunday morning charged with battery and child abuse.

The incident was captured on video according to the police report.

Ray faces two counts of battery and one count of cruelty toward a child. A court date was set for June 29th on one of the battery charges and July 12th for the other battery charge and cruelty charge.
