A four-week-old baby was bruised and left with a swollen eye after being thrown from his pram during an attack on his mother in Detroit.

A four-week-old baby was bruised with a swollen eye after being thrown from his pram during an attack on his mother in Detroit. The mother, identified as Taylor, said she was lured to a home on the city's west side under the pretence that family members of the baby's father wanted to meet her newborn. Instead, she was ambushed and attacked in what she described as a 'three versus one' assault. During the attack, her baby was thrown from his pushchair and landed face down on the ground, sustaining bruises and a swollen eye. The mother suffered wounds all over her body during the ten-minute assault, and a car seat was snatched from her hands during the struggle.

Both mother and baby required hospitalisation following the attack. The mother, who had undergone a C-section just four weeks earlier, was left so badly bruised that she refused to appear on camera. Detroit police are now preparing to refer the case to prosecutors for criminal charges against all three women involved.
