One of the few papers who noticed it, was Correio da Manhã:

Man mugging pregnant woman on Funchal street.

Police is investigating the case. Video may shock sensitive readers.

A pregnant woman was beaten by a man late Wednesday in Funchal.



The woman was saved by a man who was passing the place and who recorded a moment with the mobile phone, then posting the images on Facebook.



The Public Security Police has already opened an investigation to find out what happened. According to the Jornal da Madeira, the aggressions will have started inside a bar and continued outside the same.



“The alleged husband suddenly came and beat her, which I know was eight months pregnant, had a lot of bruises and had a lot of pains.”



“He tried again to beat her and I tried to film. He’s a Muslim. It’s a serious thing because I’m a father and I ended up seeing her suffer, I was afraid that she would lose the child, it’s annoying, but I do not have traumas”.



The woman is in the Funchal hospital. In the video you can see the bloody woman sitting on the floor and the attacker who left the place when he noticed the presence of other people. The victim, who was eight months pregnant, was rescued and transported to the hospital where she was receiving psychological support.
