EAST ORANGE — A New Jersey father accused of tossing his 3-month-old daughter to her death off a bridge faces arraignment today.

Shamsid-Din Abdur-Raheem is charged with six counts related to the abduction and death.

Prosecutors say Abdur-Raheem parked along the shoulder of the Garden State Parkway and threw or dropped the infant off the Driscoll Bridge into icy waters in February.

Zara Malani-Lin Abdur-Raheem's body was found along the banks of the Raritan River in April.

The 22-year-old Galloway Township resident also faces attempted murder charges for allegedly assaulting the baby's maternal grandmother. The child's mother, of East Orange, was obtaining a restraining order against Abdur-Raheem.
