The man, who was with a group, fled the scene in a car driven by his friends after the attack, he said."One person came out from the car with a metal bar and attacked others, but we stopped him and got the bar from him and it was given to police as evidence," Fouda said. "The man watched the family for some time and then waited when a three-week-old baby was inside a small tent with a young woman, then he jumped and landed on the lady and the baby."
