Woman arrested after swearing aloud on mobile phone

A pregnant woman was handcuffed by police and forced onto her stomach during an arrest that began with her talking too loudly on her mobile phone.

Sakinah Aaron, 23, said she feared her unborn baby would be harmed when the officer forced her to the ground and put his knee in her back at a bus stop in Washington earlier this month. A doctor later said her five-month-old foetus was not harmed.
