Police arrested Natasha Hubbard for aggravated assault after she allegedly snatched a baby boy from his stroller.
Police arrested a 36-year-old homeless woman for allegedly snatching a baby boy from his stroller and slamming him into a pole, then trying to break his arm off so she could eat it, authorities said Wednesday.
Adriana Miranda was walking with her sister in downtown Los Angeles during the July 21 incident, pushing her 4-month-old son down the street when Natasha Hubbard allegedly reached into the stroller, unbelted the baby and grabbed him by the leg, swinging him overhead before slamming him into a rail, the Los Angeles Times reported.
The boy’s mother and aunt tried to fight Hubbard off, and when Miranda was finally able to grab the baby back Hubbard scratched at her and kept trying to fight.
The baby received only minor injuries and was treated for bruises and scratches.
According to the Times, Hubbard ran away but witnesses helped identify her, leading to her arrest. She was charged with aggravated assault and her bail set at $30,000. She is currently on probation for both a narcotics case and a battery case, and has been arrested for aggravated assault before.
In an interview with detectives, Hubbard confirmed she tried to break the baby’s arm off in order to eat it.

Posted on July 30, 2011 at 11:01am@Jhaydeng Death penalty? Does California usually seek the death penalty for crimes not involving death.
Death penalty in an assault and battery case?
As someone who has never taken drugs, what kind of drug makes you want to break off a random child’s arm and eat it?
If she would have simply said it then I would simply dismiss it as drug talk but she attacked the child!
I wonder if mental illness runs in the family?

Seems like you think I am making “excuses” for the “dirtbag” (and am consequently a “dirtbag’ as well). The insanity defense is not an “excuse.” It is accepted in every state of the union. If you don’t feel it should be a defense, then you have plenty of company (including some with considerable intellect and composure). Personally, I wish that America would adopt the Scottish finding of “Guilty, But insane“ instead of ”Not Guilty By Reason of Insanity.” If, however, you think that the death penalty is a deterent to the insane, then your belief is simply irrational. Enjoy your rage.

That being said, the preventative benefits of the death penalty are absolute. I support the death penalty for anyone who demonstrates this level of violence, crazy or not.
