A pregnant woman was attacked outside her work in Wisconsin last week, beaten with a baseball bat after finishing her shift at a group home.
Gheonna Lacy works as a caretaker at the home and had gone outside to warm up her car at about 7 a.m., WISN reports.
A doorbell camera captured the scene: Two hooded figures, one with the bat, run off-screen toward Lacy’s car. There is screaming, and the sound of the bat hitting the woman.
Lacy told WISN that the assailants “just immediately knocked me to the ground, started swinging the bat (and) stomping me with their feet.”
She said she recognized the woman, who she said had been stalking her over some kind of relationship dispute. She did not recognize the man.
They were targeting her baby, she said, prompting her to do what she could to protect her belly.
“She was stating to kill the baby, to get the baby,” she said.
Lacy said both she and the baby are in stable condition as of Friday.
Racine police said that they are investigating but so far have made no arrests.
A GoFundMe set up by Lacy’s employer said she has two young children in addition to the one on the way.
