Suspect throws brick at pregnant woman’s stomach in downtown Nanaimo
A pregnant woman was rushed to hospital after she was struck in the stomach by a brick thrown by a person in the throes of an apparent mental health crisis downtown.
“It was quite clear the individual was in a mental health crisis and was causing a disturbance on the street and at one point picked up a brick and threw the brick at a mother and her daughter,” said reserve Const. Gary O’Brien, Nanaimo RCMP spokesperson. “She stepped in front of her daughter, who may have taken the brunt of the brick if she hadn’t done that,” O’Brien said. “She was quite far along in her pregnancy, too, and was taken to hospital.”
