Bridgeport, CT (AHN) -- A 40-year-old man was charged with assault and risk of injury to a minor for allegedly biting his 3-year-old nephew all over his body. The man claims he wanted to teach the kid that biting people is wrong and hence thought of this trick.

The matter came into light after day-care workers discovered adult-size bite marks on the toddler's chest, stomach, shoulder, back, thigh, leg and buttocks, leading to the arrest of Hector Pulido on Tuesday.

Upon interrogation, the toddler told officers his uncle had bitten him and later Pulido also allegedly admitted that he did it "to teach him not to bite anyone."

AP reports that Pulido is currently being held on $100,000 bond after a court appearance Wednesday. The state Department of Children and Families was notified after the kid was examined at a hospital.
