Philly woman facing charges after attacking child at Wildwood motel pool

NEW JERSEY (KYW Newsradio) — A Philadelphia woman was arrested in Wildwood after police say she attacked a 10-year-old at a motel pool and later bit an officer.

On Monday, 43-year-old Fallan Turner was reported to police for acting out of control in the pool of a motel on Ocean Avenue in Wildwood Crest.

Authorities were told she grabbed the 10-year-old and swung him around in the water before dunking him repeatedly. When the child's father tried to intervene, police say Turner jumped on his back and grabbed him inappropriately.

During the arrest, police say she pushed an officer in the face and, while being processed at the station, she bit an officer's hand.

Turner faces at least six charges.
