A mum-of-five who gave birth just weeks ago has been left too scared to leave the house after she was attacked by a stranger in a shop.

Safina Humera, pictured, from Fallowfield, was left with a broken arm after she was shoved to the ground by a woman who went on a rampage attacking random members of the public in Quality Save, in Chorlton Precinct.

Safina, who has five children under the age of 13 including a three-week-old baby, was browsing the shelves on Sunday, July 2 with her daughter, when she was suddenly thrown to the ground by the woman.

She was left crying on the floor and in agonising pain following the ordeal. Two other women then approached her and told her they had also been hit by the woman.

When Safina went to A & E, a scan revealed she had broken her left arm in the attack.

Recalling the incident, she said: “It was horrible, I was in so much pain. We were nearly finished at the shop, when this lady came up shouting and screaming. She was shouting ‘I’m fed up, I’ve had enough.’

“I was crying because of the pain. Two women came over and said she had pushed them as well.

“I’m so glad I wasn’t still pregnant. I’m used to doing everything myself. I can’t pick up my babies. I don’t want to go out. I’m so scared, I can’t drive or do the dishes, or do anything.”

No one has been arrested in connection with the incident.
