Gran, 43, tried to grab stranger's baby during Lidl supermarket shop

A woman "tried to grab" a stranger's baby as she shopped in Lidl, a court was told. Fellow customers formed a barricade around the child's mother and buggy as the incident unfolded.

Witnesses told how the baby's mother was left visibly "distressed" during the incident at the store in Stockton-on-Tees. Now the woman, who insisted it had been a misunderstanding, has been convicted of assault following the incident.

Magistrates on Teesside were told how Carolyn Taylor approached the mother and child inside the store on December 4 last year. Witnesses told how the 43-year-old grandmother repeatedly tried to grab the baby boy from his buggy, reports Teesside Live.
