A pregnant woman has been punched and kicked in the stomach during an attack at a suburban shopping strip, Western Australian police say.
The 35-year-old was taken to hospital after the alleged assault on Wednesday that started when a 51-year-old woman verbally abused the younger woman as she entered a Bentley grocery store.
“The abuse continued as the victim left the store until she was physically assaulted in the carpark,” a police spokeswoman said.
“The victim was punched in the face several times before being kicked in the stomach, causing her to fall to the ground.”
