Three suspects are now in custody after robbing a woman who was holding her infant son, according to officials.

Police say the woman was approached by three people in South Baltimore on the 1700 block of Webster Street at about 1:40 p.m. Tuesday.

Police said the first robber, a juvenile male, produced a handgun and began striking the woman in the head while she was carrying her 5-week-old son. The second robber, a juvenile female, then grabbed the woman from behind, while the first robber took the woman’s phone. A juvenile male acted as a lookout.
