Mum abandons son in buggy to launch 'ferocious' attack at friend

A mum was so engrossed in “ferociously” attacking her friend in a lift she didn't realise she had abandoned her toddler son.

Sarah Kirby had her son on her hip when she began assaulting Molly Culshaw, 36, and floored her. The mum-of-two then put the toddler in his buggy and used it to run over the victim, who was on the floor, before pushing it outside the lift.

She then went back to kicking, punching and stamping on her helpless friend and hitting her with a piece of wood, seemingly unaware that the doors had closed and the lift had moved off. The 36-year-old appeared at Liverpool Crown Court for sentencing on Friday, April 29, where she was jailed for 12 months.
