Man ‘who kicked pregnant Muslim woman in the stomach causing her to lose unborn twins’ is charged as we picture him for the first time
David Gallacher, 37, is accused of assaulting the expectant woman by kicking her in the stomach
A MAN was charged today over a race attack on a pregnant woman who later lost her unborn twin babies.
David Gallacher, 37, who has been pictured by The Sun for the first time, is accused of assaulting the mum-to-be by kicking her in the stomach as she walked close to a mosque.
He also allegedly attacked a man who tried to intervene during the incident near a Co-op store in Milton Keynes, Bucks., last August.
The unnamed Somalian woman, who is a mum-of-four, was forced to flee her home in fear as a result of the assault. She had not known she was expecting twins until medics told her she had lost them following the assault.
Her 40-year-old husband has had to give up his job as a taxi driver to stay home and reassure his traumatised wife.
