What does として mean here?
There is grammar tosite which follows nouns, but in this case you need to
recognize this as to suru which may also follow verb phrases. Depending on
context, it could mean "to assume that", but in this case it means "to
consider ~" or "to view ~ as ~". This often simplifies to "for".

> On the 12th, the police department arrested a boy living in Nakano-ku, Tokyo
> on suspicion of injury **for** hitting his father with a blunt-like object.
