NASSAU-A pair who attacked a mother as she held her baby were on Wednesday jailed for one year.
The infant’s father Jeffrey Lubin, 24, and grandmother Rosna Noel, 52, on June 12 pleaded guilty to assaulting Francesca Sanon and exposing her two-month-old son to grievous harm.
The two-month-old boy received a gash to his face that required surgery after Sanon fell on top of him during the domestic dispute.
The incident took place on June 7 in the Cowpen Road Haitian Village.
It all began when Sanon, walked out on Lubin because she caught him cheating.
So, she 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 hit Sanon across her back and bit the hand she was using to hold the baby.
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. The child has recovered from the incident.
A bystander recorded the vicious attack and turned the video over to investigators.
Senior Magistrate Derence Rolle-Davis said the family would never be the same because of the incident.
