NASSAU-A two-month-old is in stable condition in hospital after his mother fell on him while fending off an attack.
The woman’s 52-year-old mother, Ronsa Noel, and 24-year-old boyfriend, Jeffrey Lubin, took responsibility for the June 7 attack at the Haitian Village on Cowpen Road.
It all began when the baby’s mother, Francesca Sanon, walked out on her Lubin because she caught him cheating.
The woman went to stay by her mother. However, the Lubin came to the house and the Noel allowed him to sleep over.
That’s when the Sanon decided to leave. She left the following morning and was holding the infant when her boyfriend grabbed her free hand. Then, he dragged her back to the house.
Sanon screamed for help. Rather than helping her daughter, Noel came out and joined in the attack. She punched and bit her own child.
During the struggle the mother fell on her baby, causing head injuries.
The infant had surgery on his face and has an eye infection and fluid in the lungs, the court heard.
A bystander recorded the vicious attack and turned the video over to investigators.
On June 12, Noel and Lubin pleaded guilty to exposing a child to grievous harm and assaulting Sanon.
They have been remanded to prison pending sentencing.
Senior Magistrate Derence Rolle-Davis deferred sentencing to June 24.
He wants an updated medical report for the child and a victim impact statement from Sanon.
Sanon was not seriously hurt.
