Miss Rose added: 'It's very hard on us. The baby was in my hands when I was being beaten.

'I was continually punched, I begged the person to stop saying I had my baby in my arms.

'He was punched in the back and was howling in pain and screaming. I tried to get him out of my hands because this person wasn't stopping and kept laying in. The more I pleaded to stop the more aggressive the person was getting saying they were going to kill me.

'My body is very bruised and I had to get stitches of my lip.

'I'm more worried about my son though, his injuries are worse than mine.'
