HER MIRACLE
Beaten pregnant gal: Unborn daughter OK
AS TWO attackers repeatedly stomped on Tylesha Mohammed’s pregnant body, the helpless beating victim feared only for one life: Her unborn daughter.
“The doctors said they don’t know how she survived,” said the 19-year Bronx mom-to-be Wednesday, rubbing her sevenmonths swollen belly. “She’s healthy. I was scared for my baby. She’s my first.”
The women attackers in the ugly Feb. 1 beatdown landed at least nine kicks on Mohammed at the bottom of a stairwell in a building along St. Ann’s Ave. near E. 159th St. in Woodstock, police said.
One of the pair finally slammed a heavy door on the overmatched Mohammed to cap the terrifying assault captured on a nearby surveillance camera.
The assailants made off with her phone and remain on the lam, police said.
“I’m still hurting,” Mohammed said. “They jumped on my head, on my stomach. They didn’t care that I was pregnant. They fractured bones in my face. I was black and purple all over.”
Mohammed said she was pummeled because the women “had a beef with someone I knew.” She said the name of one of the attackers was “Tiffany.”
“They get me to get to them,” she said softly of her friends in the feud. “I just wanted it to be over. At some point they left and the door shut. I thought it was over. But then they came back."
The victim was rushed to Lincoln Hospital for treatment, but doctors could not perform an MRI because the procedure might hurt the baby, due April 29.
“I was just hoping my baby was OK,” said Mohammed. “It felt like a long time. That’s all I keep doing, praying, ‘Please God, don’t let my baby get hurt.’ ”
Mohammed said there were other people there along with her attackers, although none was caught on camera. But that’s in the past, and the pending parent is looking to the future.
“I was a lot scared,” she said. “I just want to stay home and rest for my daughter. I want her to be OK.”
