Woman gives birth after assault

A heavily pregnant woman went into labour and gave birth after she was attacked by muggers in a London street.

Two men on bicycles rode up to the woman and forced her to the ground as she walked through Camden.

They stole her jewellery and fled but their 30-year-old victim, although unhurt, went into labour.

She was taken to hospital and gave birth. Mother and child are said by police to be doing well following the attack on Thursday.

The suspects are described as black men aged between 17 and 20 who fled in the direction of Swiss Cottage, leaving one of the bicycles behind.
