A adolescent who was riding a scooter with a girl accused of violently dragging a pregnant mother to the ground by her hair as she pushed her two children in a pram appeared to have left a very obvious hint outside her home.
There were major concerns for the pregnant mother’s health when she was attacked by the 15-year-old girl, whose attack was captured on a neighbor’s surveillance camera as the woman pushed her two young children in a stroller.
At 12.40 p.m. on Monday, a teen riding a scooter approached the 37-year-old mother as she walked down a Perth alleyway in Smallman Place, Ashfield.
WA Police quickly located the juvenile who was accused of committing the crime, capturing the moment a group of cops came at her residence to arrest her.
The girl riding with the kid suspected of the attack seemed to have left the scooter she was riding leaning against the carport in front of the house.
The footage of the teen’s arrest showed her cursing at officers, yelling, and crying, while other members of her home wailed in the background.
WA Police footage showed the scooter outside the residence.
CCTV footage saw the youngster pushing the mom, who was five months pregnant, to the ground by her hair before dragging her away from her children down the concrete.
Young twins screamed in fright and kicked their legs in the air when their stroller overturned as their mother was thrown down the path.
After she landed on her tummy during the attack, police feared for the expectant mother’s health and pushed her to visit a doctor immediately.
She sustained minor scratches and bruises, but was recommended to seek medical attention due of her pregnancy.
In a brutal daytime assault, an adolescent is captured on camera attempting to steal the handbag from a 37-year-old mother.
The incident, which occurred in broad daylight in a Perth neighbourhood, elicited widespread outrage on social media from horrified commenters.
The footage published by the WA Police Department prompted a wave of indignation on social media, with many startled by the brutality and others concerned for the mother and children’s wellbeing.
The twins were left hanging upside down in their overturned stroller while their mother fought with her assailant, who was pouring blows on her head.
One commenter remarked, “I hope they’re okay… thank heavens the mother properly secured the children in the stroller… they would have been so terrified otherwise.”
This poor lady and her little children must be traumatized; I hope they are all okay, especially the unborn child. It is very astonishing,’ stated another.
Police have accused a 15-year-old girl with robbery after arresting her shortly after the alleged assault.
A teen is seen approaching the woman from behind and dragging her down a passageway by her hair.
The girl was charged with one count of robbery and is scheduled to appear on September 13 in Geraldton Magistrates Court.
Investigators published CCTV footage of the attack in an effort to piece together what transpired and requested that anyone with pertinent information contact police.
A youngster was captured on video riding a scooter down the alleyway behind another little girl before the incident.
Police stated that a second girl was arrested as part of the preliminary inquiry, but she was not prosecuted in connection with the assault.
Neighbors informed The West Australian that they were ‘appalled’ by the savage daylight assault, and other moms in the area are now reluctant to leave their homes.
How could someone of that age have such audacity?
“It’s terrible to see an adult pushing a stroller,” complained a neighbor.
I have never witnessed or heard of such a degree of violence here.
Another person commented, “As a mother of a little kid who walks the same street, I no longer wish to do so.”
The woman struggled to keep hold of her toppled stroller as the teenager attempted to steal her handbag.
