Woman attacked in Saskatoon park says all she was thinking about was her daughter's safety
Published Tuesday, May 21, 2019 6:45PM EDTSaskatoon police are investigating a disturbing video that appears to show a group of young boys swarm and repeatedly attack a woman at a park playground.
Some other boys can be seen and heard laughing in the background as the woman struggles to fight off several of the attackers pummeling her. She eventually manages to get up and walk away after the boys eventually disperse. “They kept throwing sticks and stones at the man and I told those kids to quit doing that,” she said. “I don’t stand for that.”
“And I chose to fight. I could have ran but I don’t think my daughter could outrun them. She was screaming and crying and she was so scared for her mom – and I didn’t shed a tear because I wanted to be strong for her.” “I intervened, I was like, ‘Stop, that’s not a nice thing to do’ and this kid said, ‘You’re not my dad,” the witness said.
In an email to CTV News Saskatoon, police spokesperson Julie Clark said officers are now in contact with the victim and “will be looking into the matter.”
