A pregnant woman miscarried following an alleged attack perpetrated by two schoolboys. According to reports, the woman was forcibly displaced from a bench by two adolescents as she was waiting for a bus.
After the attack on High Street, Tranent, East Lothian in Scotland at approximately 6.20 pm last Friday, it was alleged that the boys fled the scene. According to EdinburghLive, the woman was promptly sent to the hospital.
The woman was transported to Edinburgh Royal Infirmary by her spouse following her experience of “haemorrhaging and intense and intolerable agony”. The husband published a plea on social media to locate the boys after the event. He reported that his spouse experienced a spontaneous abortion while receiving medical care.
The man wrote: “I just want to update everyone about the condition of my wife. It is with a heavy heart that I inform the community that my wife had a miscarriage and pregnancy loss, and she is still in the hospital recuperating.
“This is a very traumatic, heartbreaking, and horrible experience for us, especially for my wife and kids. I am appealing to everyone: if you have sons [and] daughters, nieces [and] nephews, please speak with them.
“Teach them and remind them every day how to respect people and behave in public places. Good manners should be taught and start at home.”
He posted: “Two high school students wearing black uniform (wearing shorts and the other one is wearing a trouser) pushed my pregnant wife while in the bus stop around 6.20 pm at the high street waiting for the bus. She even offered [them] a seat, and she was nice to them, but they were so rude.
“My wife got hurt; she was angry and told them she was pregnant. They said sorry and ran away. Is there any CCTV in that area?”
He added: “This is a call for justice.”
Shocked locals have also taken to social media to express their disgust at the incident and offer condolences. One said: “Oh my God, that’s so terrible. I hoped she would get better. Love to you all.”
A second added: “Sorry to hear this, I hope they charge whoever did this to your wife and baby.” A third post: “I’m so sorry for this devastating loss. I hope you get justice in time.”
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “We received a report of an assault on High Street, Tranent, which happened on Friday, 30 August. Enquiries are ongoing.”
