ORLANDO, Fla. (FOX 35 ORLANDO) - Orange County deputies have arrested a 28-year-old father who they said tried to kill his 4-year-old daughter by suffocating her.

According to an arrest affidavit, several people in the home were screaming and crying hysterically, stating that the victim's father, Michael Dublin, had sat on the victim and attempted to suffocate her.

The girl was taken to Arnold Palmer Hospital and at last check, was in critical but stable condition.
