(KNSI) - A St. Cloud man is accused of attacking a pregnant woman and beating her children.

The woman says she was afraid she was going to “die” and is “always afraid” of Liban Ahmed Mohamud.



Investigators say the woman, who was five months pregnant at the time, was folding laundry on May 18th when Mohamud asked her to iron his shirt.



According to the criminal complaint, when the woman said she couldn’t, the 28-year-old became angry and struck both of her arms with an extension cable, twisted her left arm, put his hands around her neck and choked her, and then pushed her to the floor.



She says Mohamud then got mad at her three kids. According to the complaint, he slapped and kicked the children and threw them to the ground.



The woman says when she tried to stop him he started choking her again.



She says she was able to get away from Mohamud and agreed to iron his shirt so he would stop attacking the children. He then left in a vehicle.



The woman called police and was taken to St. Cloud Hospital for an evaluation.



Mohamud was arrested on a warrant on Wednesday.



He’s been charged with felony domestic assault by strangulation, three gross misdemeanor counts of malicious punishment of a child, a misdemeanor charge of 3rd degree assault of an unborn child and five misdemeanor counts of domestic assault.



His bail was set at $150,000. His next court date is July 2nd.
