A man is charged after an alleged carjacking in Perth in which a baby is left by the side of a highway and the child’s mother is assaulted.
Multiple outlets report that the incident occurs in broad daylight. The accused is said to be on bail at the time of the alleged offence and is charged in connection with the theft of the mother’s vehicle while her baby was inside. One report says the mother is assaulted during the incident.
One outlet adds that the seven-month-old baby is later found by a passerby after the vehicle is allegedly stolen. Other coverage focuses on the charging and the overall circumstances of the alleged carjacking, including that the child is ultimately located outside the car. The reports do not indicate the circumstances leading to the mother’s assault or the exact location details beyond the highway setting.
