I was assaulted on October 28, 16. I believe it is 2nd degree assault as he approached me and attempted to pull my daughter out of my arms to eventually cause me physical harm. He is the brother of my child's father. My child's father and I exchanged words 2 days before (25th) so he brought his brother to confront me when I came to pick-up my daughter.
