BOSTON — A woman who was five months pregnant walked into a Roxbury laundromat on a Sunday morning to do her laundry. She had trouble getting a payment card to work on one of the machines. An argument started. And then a man who had absolutely nothing to do with any of it walked over, inserted himself into the dispute, and kicked her in the stomach.
This is an update to our earlier report. Police have now released additional images, including a woman they believe may be associated with the suspect.

The suspect didn't know the victim. He wasn't part of the conversation. He just decided to get involved — and his contribution was to kick a pregnant woman directly in the stomach, then turn around and flee on foot toward Moreland Street.
He is described as a light-skinned male, approximately 6'0" tall. He was wearing a blue New York Yankees hat, a beige hoodie, and blue pants.
