A young mother shared her frightening experience with Sudbury.com after encounter with a man accosted her and while he attempted to grab her child out of her arms as store employees put themselves in harm’s way to stop him
A young Sudbury mom took her two-and-a-half-year-old daughter to Walmart in the South End last Friday night, hoping to see the cleaning robot there. It’s the little girl's favourite activity, a visit she insists on at least twice a week.
When they got there, looking for the robot, Jessica said a man was suddenly near her, as though he had popped out of nowhere. He was quite lanky, she said, thin and black, and very tall, Jessica recalled, standing well over six feet, she estimated. Feeling very uncomfortable and threatened at that moment, Jessica, who is also 26 weeks pregnant, said she just started running, hoping to find help. She said she had no idea where to go or what to do, she just wanted to get her daughter away from the man, as he chased them through the store, Jessica said.
As Jessica stood behind the employees, clutching her daughter, the man continued to push and pull, trying to grab the little girl. At one point, he got his fingers on her coat. Jessica said all she could do was cry and hold on for dear life. Undeterred, Jessica said the Walmart workers stood steady, protecting the girl, even though the man would go on to punch one of the employees, assault the others and break the phone of someone who was recording the interaction.
Kaitlyn Dunn, GSPS spokesperson, told Sudbury the 20-year-old man has been charged with three counts of assault, mischief under $5,000 and “criminal harassment – repeatedly follow.”
