Mumbai, September 4: A pregnant woman suffered a miscarriage after she was allegedly assaulted and pushed off a bench by two schoolboys on August 30 in Scotland's East Lothian in the UK. According to her husband, the incident occurred on High Street in Tranent at around 6:20 PM local time while they waited for a bus.

The two schoolboys, yet unidentified, allegedly pushed the pregnant woman down while waiting for the bus even after she offered them a seat. As reported in The Mirror, the husband said in a social media post that the boys wore a black uniform, and that one was in shorts and the other one in trousers. He also wrote that even though his wife was nice to them, the boys ill-treated her, were rude and assaulted her. He added, "My wife got hurt, she was angry and told them she was pregnant. They said sorry and ran away. Are there any CCTV in that area?" UK Shocker: Two Teenagers Brutally Kill 19-Year-Old Stranger With Machete in Wolverhampton Park, Arrested.

The woman was immediately rushed to the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary by her husband later in the afternoon when she started bleeding and suffered severe, unbearable pain. At the hospital, she suffered a miscarriage on September 3. In his update, the distraught husband wrote, "I just want to update everyone about the condition of my wife.

Appealing to the local community and seeking justice, the husband further asked people to teach their children to respect other people better and behave responsibly in public spaces. He wrote, "This is a very traumatic, heartbreaking, and a horrible experience for us, especially to my wife and kids. I am making an appeal to everyone, if you have sons (and) daughters, nieces (and) nephews, please have a word with them. Teach them and remind them everyday how to respect people and behave in public places. Good manners should be taught and start at home."

The locals, shocked by the tragic incident, expressed disgust and offered condolences for the family's loss. The Scottish police spokesperson reported receiving a complaint about the alleged assault and informed that investigations were being carried out.
