The unpleasant incident happened at Amoaman in the Atwima Nwabiagya District of the Ashanti Region on Wednesday.
Kofi Atta, who acted strangely prior to the incident, is in custody of the police assisting in investigations, DAILY GUIDE learnt.
Reports indicated that even though Atta doesn’t have a history of mental disorder, he behaved strangely in recent times.
“On Saturday, Atta acted like a mad person and was arrested by the police and later released. The suspect became normal for a few days only for him to start acting strangely again on Wednesday morning, the residents disclosed.
Eyewitnesses said at about 3:30am on Wednesday, Atta, without provocation, hit the mother’s head with an object.
