Authorities arrested a San Antonio police officer Wednesday on charges of injuring a child and child endangerment, department officials said.

Bless Achor, a six-year SAPD veteran, turned himself in to the Bexar County Sheriff's Office after learning a warrant had been issued for his arrest, according to a department statement.

He now faces charges of injury to a child causing bodily injury and of abandoning or endangering a child, the department added.
