"As I was getting up I'm telling her I'm pregnant, she was like I don't care. She just constantly starting to cut and stab me," said the victim. "All of my side was ripped my skin was hanging."
It was a traumatizing and scary scene for many at the south side park. The woman says she wants the two responsible to pay for their cold-hearted actions.
"They could have killed us," said the victim. "They ought to be ashamed for what they did and I want to see justice."
The suspects were arrested and are currently being held in the Milwaukee County Jail. The Milwaukee County District Attorney's office says charges are pending.
