An enraged mother in Pennsylvania took matters into her own hands and beat a man with a metal pipe for allegedly trying to kiss her 9-year-old daughter, police said.
Vigilante mom Shantika Briley, 35, was arrested Wednesday after confronting the 39-year-old victim in the living room of her Bethlehem home, where she accused the man of licking her daughter’s lips and trying to kiss her, the Patriot-News reported.
Police said Briley went ballistic and attacked the man with a metal pipe, hitting him in his face and head. Briley disputed that account, however, claiming she only used her fists to assault the man, the newspaper reported.
The battered victim fled Briley’s house during the attack and went home — with Briley in close pursuit, police said.
Responding cops discovered Briley and the man at his home, where he was found bleeding before being taken to a hospital for his injuries. The man lost consciousness on the way, police said.
Charges have not been filed against the man in connection with Briley’s allegations, but detectives are investigating her accusations. The man, who was not identified, is expected to be prosecuted, Briley told the newspaper.
A message seeking comment from Bethlehem police was not immediately returned early Monday.
Briley — who has been charged with aggravated assault, simple assault and harassment — was released from custody after posting $25,000 bond. She had yet to hire an attorney, the newspaper reported.
