Gramercy — A 17-year-old teen was sentenced to a year in jail after attacking a pregnant woman near Union Square last summer, the New York Post reported.
Lequint Singleton pleaded guilty to beating and robbing Moriah Lazar Hara last June on East 15th Street and Irving Place, next to Washington Irving High School, the Post reported.
"I'm glad that he received the one-year sentence," Hara told the Post.
"That's the minimum he deserves," she said.
At the time of the beating, Hara was five months pregnant and was heading back to her home in Gramercy from a doctor's appointment, the paper reported. Her baby was not harmed, she told the Post.
The bank executive said she was attacked by a group of teens standing outside Washington Irving High School in June after she accidentally brushed up against a young girl who said, "You don't want to pick a fight with me."
Police also charged three other teens with the attack, the paper reported.
Hara moved her familty to the Upper East Side soon after the mugging.
