This is the shocking moment a young mother left her baby in a pram to launch an unprovoked racist attack on a stranger.
Amanda Lowe, 26, was caught on camera stamping on Khuram Nisar’s head after calling him a ‘terrorist’ in Piccadilly Gardens.
Lowe left her four-month-old baby girl and her eight-year-old daughter to launch the racially-aggravated assault.
The baby’s father Wesley Earls, also 26, and her cousin, Daniel Wray, 21, then joined in the sickening attack. The group were later arrested by police in nearby Oldham Street.
Video obtained by the M.E.N. shows the full horror of the attack for the first time.
Lowe’s conviction for assault was her fourth in six years.
But she was spared jail at Manchester Crown Court after Judge Lindsey Kushner QC told her it would have had an ‘enormous impact’ on her children. The judge told Lowe – who is pregnant with a third child: “Your record is terrible for violence given that you are 26 years of age.
"The damage you are doing to your children – there at the time and seeing you drunk, the risk you put them at – is disgraceful.
"Somebody who behaves like that when they are drunk I would think you have to keep a very careful eye on as a mother. People have been killed and maimed through being kicked in the head.”
Lowe, of Rochdale Road, Blackley, admitted racially aggravated assault causing actual bodily harm on May 21.
She was given a 12-month sentence, suspended for two years, and ordered to attend a programme for women offenders. Earls, of Old Market Road, Blackley, admitted assault causing actual bodily harm and was given a 12-month sentence, suspended for two years, and a community order.
Wray, of Ludlow Avenue, Clifton, Salford, admitted the same charge and was given a community order
