NEW YORK (AP) — A man threw his 3-month-old son out a 15th-floor window minutes after his estranged wife called police to say he had violated an order of protection, authorities said.

The couple had been arguing over a visitation schedule regarding the infant when the woman made the call early Tuesday morning, police said.

A responding police officer saw the baby's body lying a grassy area and summoned an ambulance. The baby, Kharle Slade, was pronounced dead at the scene.
