3 Men Accost Pregnant Pedestrian Walking With Husband, 2-Year-old

SPRING VALLEY - Three men allegedly accosted a pregnant woman and got into a fight with her husband Saturday in nearby area of unincorporated San Diego County, authorities said.

It happened about 6:10 p.m. Saturday in Spring Valley's 1000 block of Elkelton Boulevard, San Diego sheriff's Sgt. Jeremy Sheppard said.

The three men accosted the pregnant woman who was walking on a sidewalk with her husband and 2-year-old child, Sheppard said.

"The husband went to defend his wife and the fight escalated into the middle of the street," he said. One of the accosting men grabbed a drainage cover and used it to hit the husband over the head.

During the fight, two of the men were slashed with a sharp instrument, one of them severely, Sheppard said.

The husband suffered head trauma, according to Sheppard.

He and the two slashed men were taken to a hospital for treatment.

The third man was detained for further investigation, Sheppard said.
