Police: Man Beat Pregnant Woman When She Didn't Thank Him

Police are looking for a man who they say held a door open for a woman and then attacked her when she didn't thank him.

Lakeeya Walker, who is eight weeks pregnant, says she was most of all concerned for her fetus.

"He grabbed me by the neck, my legs were dangling as he held me against a fence," Walker told NBC 4 New York. "Then he started kicking me in the stomach."

The attack happened last Thursday shortly before noon at the Chelsea-Elliot Houses on West 26th Street.

Walker was taken to the hospital with bruising and cuts, but she says an ultrasound showed her fetus was unharmed.

Police are asking for help locating a suspect: 32-year-old Darryl Guillyard, who's described as 5 feet 10 inches tall and weighing 190 pounds.
