Woman pushes buggy into road during argument!

[Disenchanted3]

story on BBC here

Looks like the mother of the child was caught up in an argument and then the other woman pushed her child into the road!

People are nutters

So glad the little one is OK.

sorry here

What a nutter

I pulled up outside our local shop the other day and there were a couple of mums stood on the pavement chatting while their buggies were parked in the road. I just can't understand some people.

Ugh! I wonder what they can charge that woman with? Some sort of threatening behaviour?

Imarriedafrog I'm the same, we have to cross a carriage way to get to the fields we paly on, I am stood on a tiny island in the middle of 4 lanes of speedign cars with 3 kids under 6 and 2 dogs, it makes me sweat everytime!!

"Ugh! I wonder what they can charge that woman with? Some sort of threatening behaviour?"

Assault or endangerment I'd imagine.

Wouldn't it be attempted murder?

surely pushing sonmeone under a car is attempting to kill them?

I don't think it can be assault if nothing actually happened (thank god!) Attempted murder - well you'd have to prove they intended to kill the baby wouldn't you - unless they timed it with traffic passing i'm not sure how you can do that? Horrible anyway

Its says pram was narrowly missed, so i assume she pushed it into the path of a car

For attempted murder it's a different mens rea to murder. I.E. you have to prove an intent to kill not just an intent to seriously injure.
For assault recklesness is enough and it doesn't have to result in any specific level of injury, you need not even apprehend the non-consensual contact. Therefore it would be possible to charge her with it. Or does England still have the distinction between assault and battery? which would of course be relevant. However getting a conviction is of course another thing but it would be capable of being brought under assault in Ireland.

OMG what sort of sick bitch pushes a pram in to the road

I grabbed a buggy that rolled out of the door of Costa a few weeks ago as the mothers were too busy looking for a comfy chair then watching their pushchairs.

To they have Intent to Cause Grievous Bodily Harm here? I would go with that, if not then Attempted Murder sounds good too.

Fuck.

Bloody hell.

horrible

OMG

Seriously scary!

What an absolute nutter!

So glad poor baby is okay. I would of killed the lady that pushed my baby in front of a car!
And the person driving, what a shock they must of had!

It's 'reckless endangerment' I think.
