A four-week-old baby girl was today back home with her parents as police and health chiefs investigate how she suffered serious injuries while in hospital.

Little Humara Ali had a cast put on her broken right leg and was today recovering from a fractured skull at her terraced home in Craven Road, Keighley.

She is believed to have fallen out of her cot at Airedale General Hospital, Steeton, near Keighley, on Thursday, December 19. She had been admitted with a cold and suffering breathing problems.

The following day, police arrived at the family home to tell father Mumtaz Ali and his wife Noreen - also a mother of three boys - that their daughter had been involved in an 'incident' and she was injured.

She had a broken leg and a head injury, believed to be a fracture, and she was bruised.

Mr Ali said: "We are very happy now she is back at home and she is getting better.

"But she has a pot on her leg and we are still worried about her.

"We don't know what the long term effects might be.

"And we still have no idea what happened. It's terrible not knowing."

He claimed he was first told that nurses thought Humara had been attacked. She was found at the foot of a cot and nurses said they had no idea how long she had been there, Mr Ali said.

Airedale General Hospital has accepted that an incident happened in the hospital on December 19. An investigation has been launched.

Further information could not be released at present but the family would be kept informed, said a spokesman.

West Yorkshire Police's child-protection unit is investigating the case.

Details were not being released until all parties involved had been interviewed, said Det Insp. Steve Long.
