A terrible incident took place in the town of Villa Celina, where a woman was the victim of a brutal robbery in broad daylight while she was accompanied by her son. The 32-year-old woman was walking with her son, who was seated in a shopping cart, when a man approached and began to assault her with the intention of robbing her.
The incident was recorded by a security camera, clearly showing how the attacker punched, shaken, and kicked the woman on the ground. The victim recounted the harrowing moment, mentioning that the attacker threatened her with a possible weapon and struck her while her son cried inconsolably.
"I stopped, he came and grabbed me. He was following me because he passed by in front of me and asked for my phone. I think he had a weapon because he told me that if I didn't let go, he was going to stab me. I don't have anything else. I didn't realize it," the affected woman expressed in statements to the media. The woman sells vegetables, a task she does on Tuesdays and Thursdays to support her three children.
Both the victim and local residents reported the lack of police presence in the area, stating that they feel helpless in the face of growing insecurity. The criminal, failing to achieve his robbery objective, fled, leaving the woman in shock from the violence of the attack.
The moment was witnessed by the woman's son, who, although turning his head to check on his mother's condition, could not comprehend the seriousness of the situation. The local community was shocked by the aggression suffered by the woman and joined the call for greater security in the area to prevent such violent incidents.
