MUGGERS BEAT UP MACCA'S PREGNANT DAUGHTER

SIR Paul McCartney's pregnant daughter Mary was left battered and bruised after being viciously mugged in the street.

Two cowardly thugs struck from behind as photographer Mary, 33, left work and was putting belongings in the boot of her blue Mercedes.

One attacker covered her mouth to stifle her screams while the other wrenched out her diamond earrings and ripped off her engagement ring and watch.

Terrified Mary, two months pregnant, feared for the life of her unborn child and put up no fight. A friend said: "It was a planned operation. They were in hiding, waiting ready for Mary to arrive at her car.

"These weren't first-time thieves. They knew what they were doing.

"They were on her like a flash when she left work, grabbing her from behind. It only lasted seconds but seemed like a lifetime.

"The McCartney family are all terribly shocked."

Shaken Mary - oldest of Macca's three children by first wife Linda - went to hospital as a precaution after the attack in Maida Vale, West London.

The friend went on: "Mary never dresses in flash clothes or expensive jewellery. She likes the fact that she can walk around unrecognised.

"She has always avoided the public eye, unlike her sister Stella who is a regular face on the celebrity circuit.

"Her concern was for the safety of her child, although she was devastated at losing her engagement ring."

Mary has a three-year-old son Arthur with her husband of four years Alistair Donald. Sir Paul, 60, who dotes on Arthur, was thrilled when Mary announced that she was expecting her second child. And the star was devastated by the savage mugging.

A family friend said: "Paul was gravely concerned about Mary and the baby.

"Emotions have been strained because of the children's unhappiness over him marrying Heather Mills.

"But all that was cast aside when Mary needed his support. They have a special bond."

Thank you for the info, MaccaGirl.

Poor thing! Well, I'm glad she & the baby are ok!!! Everything else can be replaced.

What horrible people! Mugging people is awful enough, but to attack a pregnant woman!

I hope she and the baby are ok.

I think they may have known it was Mary. In either case those thugs deserve to be beat up themselves even if they didn't know. Some people!

Poor Mary. Bad enough she lost her engagement ring and feared for her unborn child, but she also lost the freedom to walk around by herself without fear. I wonder if she'll obtain a bodyguard now.

Thanks for letting us know, MaccaGirl.

So now, do all Beatles and Beatle family members need to have bodyguards? For crying out loud one got murdered and now 2 attacked!

[HeyBeatle]

Oh my gosh. I hope everything is fine with her baby as well as Mary herself.

Always remember you're unique, just like everyone else is.

"Why don't these particular A**holes
pick on somebody their own size?!" I mean,
I'm "a man" and I would never think about
mugging anyone-http://www.beatlelinks.net/ubb/smilies/images/icons/smile.gif In fact, when I was 12
or 13, I got mugged myself!!

How awful. I wonder when this happened - they didn't give a date. Hopefully she's doing alright now.

Oh, God, this is terrible! I hope Mary and her baby are okay. Why did those bastards have to do that! Because of who she was???? I just hope that if this goes to court, I hope that the court won't turn everything around and make Mary look she "asked for it." She certainly didn't, but these things happen in courts sometimes. It's a sad, sad world....

Muggers these days. Can't do a daggum thing without us finding out and catching them. Why don't they just give up?

Thanks, I was. http://www.beatlelinks.net/ubb/smilies/images/icons/smile.gif It was a couple years ago and it wasn't nearly so violent; I wasn't physically injured, just pushed to the ground and threatened. Still, it makes you reluctant to walk the streets alone for a LONG time afterwards. http://www.beatlelinks.net/ubb/smilies/images/icons/frown.gif

Poor Mary, that stinks! I hope she is okay!! http://www.beatlelinks.net/ubb/smilies/images/icons/frown.gif

Well, it's all right
remember to live and let live.
Well, it's all right
the best you can do is forgive.

oh, well... like they say...S*** Happens...
I´m sure she´ll be okay. She´s a McCartney.
