Outrageous attack on mum of two by teen in broad daylight

A 15-year-old has been arrested after allegedly attacking a mother out on a walk with her two children.

The 37-year-old mother was out for a walk while pushing her two very young children in a pram in Ashfield in Perth, when she was passed by the teenager on a narrow pathway spilling into a suburban cul de sac.

Horrific CCTV provided by WA Police then shows the teen rushing back and yanking violently downwards on the mother's long hair while she struggled to retain her grip on the pram.

Moments later, the teen then appears to pull down even harder on the woman's hair to the point that the pram falls backwards with the children still inside. Their legs are clearly visible kicking in the air from a prone position.

The video then cuts to the moment WA Police arrest the 15-year-old and take her to the station where she was charged.

The 15-year-old was charged with one count of robbery and is due to appear in the Geraldton Magistrates Court on September 13.

Police will also allege in court that the teenager tried to steal the mother’s handbag.
