INDIANAPOLIS -- A woman was arrested Wednesday evening on two felony battery charges after she abused her children in a fit of rage, police said.

Police were called to a home in the 1100 block of South Franklin Road just after 8 p.m. Wednesday.

Officers said that Alisha Foster, 21, was arguing with the father of the children, Dustin Dodd, 21, over the phone when she became very upset, grabbed two kitchen knives and attacked her 2-year-old son, leaving him with contusions on his head and face and choke marks on his neck.

Foster's 4-year-old daughter told police that her mother pulled her hair and picked her up by the neck and threw her onto the floor.

A grandmother of the children was home at the time, but she told police that she didn't know how the injuries happened.

Dodd told police that he received a text message from Foster, along with a picture of their son, with a message that said, "Look what your son looks like."

The picture wasn't very clear, Dodd said, making him think the boy had fallen.

The boy was taken to Riley Hospital for Children for treatment.
