Woman charged over attempt to steal unborn baby

A woman in the US was charged today with cutting open her pregnant neighbour’s stomach with a razor knife to try and steal her baby, an effort that was thwarted when a passer-by saw what was happening and alerted authorities.

The victim, Valerie Oskin, 30, was taken to a hospital, where an emergency caesarean was performed. Hospital officials said they couldn’t release any information about Oskin or her baby.
