Pregnant Woman Shoved To Ground In Racine, Man In Custody: Police

RACINE, WI — Racine police have taken a suspect into custody after a pregnant woman was shoved to the ground in April in the street.

The man pushed the woman's back and she cut her head when she fell, according to a Racine Police Department Facebook post from Thursday. The woman was 26 weeks pregnant at the time, police said.

It happened in April, and the woman did not know the suspect, but she and the baby are doing well now, Racine Police Sgt. Kristi Wilcox told Patch in an email Friday.

The video police posted shows a person walking up to a woman on the side of the street, shoving her to the ground, and running in the other direction.

Police identified the suspect as 30-year-old Joshua Lewis, WISN 12 reported. The encounter happened near 11th and Villa Streets, according to the report.

"It tugs at your heart to know that this happened to a woman just walking down the street," Racine Police Chief Maurice Robinson said, WISN 12 reported.
