A pregnant woman and her four-year-old son were brutally assaulted by the woman’s partner. The assailant, who was completely drunk, hit her partner in the stomach and also tried to strangle the child.
The event occurred this Saturday in the town of La Quiaca, Jujuy, according to local media outlet Jujuy al Día. It all started when the wife arrived at the home and the man was in the room.
The man, identified as Fernando Martínez, began to complain to her for having arrived late while insulting her.
After a few minutes, the attacker wanted to leave with the television, to which the woman objected. Faced with this situation, the man became more violent and began to hit his little son on the head and grabbed him by the neck to strangle him. The mother stood between the two of them and that’s when she also received blows from the man’s fist.
Because of the screams, the neighbors were alerted and Martínez fled. Immediately a patrol car arrived at the house and an ambulance that transferred the victims to the local hospital. Both remain hospitalized out of danger, the same media reported.
The case was in charge of the Section No. 17 of the town, which has already carried out two raids that gave negative results. The assailant is still on the run.
