Mum used buggy with her son in to 'ferociously' attack her friend - and then abandoned him

A mum used a buggy with her toddler son in to “ferociously” attack her friend - before abandoning him to continue the assault.

Sarah Kirby had her son on her hip when she began assaulting Molly Culshaw, 36, which sent her friend down to the floor. 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, the Liverpool Echo reports.

Kirkby 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 of the lift had closed and it had moved off with her child inside. The 36-year-old appeared at Liverpool Crown Court for sentencing on Friday, April 29, where she was jailed for 12 months.
