"I saw a mother go back to the stroller and pick up her baby, her back covered in blood. She screamed very, very loudly. She ran back and forth, not knowing what to do.
When a stranger saw it, he rushed to his mother, who was covered in blood.
"Both the mother and the baby were cut, and the mother, covered in blood, staggered over with the baby in her arms and handed her to me. Pleaded with me to save the child.
"I just helped hold the baby...... and tried to press the baby.
"[The situation] is very bad...... There's a lot of blood on the floor...... Hope the child is okay. ”
