A man charged with four counts of intentionally injuring a baby in Lower Hutt is pleading not guilty to all charges.

It is at least the fourth serious child abuse case in the Hutt Valley in recent months.

Police responded to a callout for disorder in the suburb of Avalon on Thursday morning.

The 30-year-old was arrested and charged after unexplained injuries were found on the child, who was taken to hospital in a serious condition.

Police said at the time they would like to speak with anyone who may have more information.
