A woman in Iowa allegedly got cold feet before meeting a guy for an online date, so she reportedly called 911 and said the man was threatening to assault her and she was pregnant with his baby, RadarOnline.com has learned.
Just after midnight on June 16, Sumaya Thomas, 18, called 911 to report that her abusive ex-boyfriend was texting her and threatening to hit, punch, kick and stab her, according to a criminal complaint obtained by Front Page Detectives.
The child died from brain injury as a result of hyperthermia, medics said.
Thomas also told 911 dispatchers that she was pregnant with the man’s baby, officials said.
Responding officers spotted the man, and, police said, he claimed that he just met Thomas on a dating app about a week prior.
Thomas and the man met on a dating app and chatted for a week before planning the date, officials said.
According to the man, he and Thomas took their conversation off the dating app and started exchanging text messages.
Police said the man showed them the text conversation, which officers said corroborated his story.
A Good Samaritan was able to intervene and pull the attackers off the victim.
