Saugus police seek two suspects in mall assault against mother and children
The two suspects are described as 18 to 20 year old men wearing all black clothing, black beanie hats, and black masks, police said.
Saugus police are seeking the public’s assistance in identifying two men who allegedly assaulted a woman and her three children Monday night in the parking lot of Square One Mall.
The woman and her children had exited the mall around 8:30 p.m. and returned to their vehicle to find two young men who had broken into the vehicle, police said.
When the woman confronted the men, one allegedly pulled out a knife and the other punched her 11-year-old child in the stomach, according to police.
The two men then ran toward the lower-level bus stop area of the mall while laughing, the victim told police.
