Bond set for man accused of attacking woman with baby
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A Memphis man faced a judge Thursday after he was arrested for allegedly trying to strangle a woman while she was holding her infant son. Tranell Gant, 23, is now facing two serious charges, one of which is child abuse and or neglect. Gant is accused of punching and trying to choke a Memphis mother as she was sitting in her car on McMillan Street in South Memphis, while she held her 6-month-old son in her lap. The infant was not injured. Police said the incident was captured on a Facebook Live. MPD: Man charged after Facebook Live attack on woman with baby 'It's crazy for a male to be putting his hands on a female anyhow,' said neighborhood resident Johnvis Davis. 'Especially with a child in their hand, and infant baby, that's ridiculous.' Bond was set Thursday at $10,000. Gant told the judge he could pay the bond. The judge then told Gant that if he's able to bond out, he must stay away from the victims, and will also be required to wear a GPS ankle monitor. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

MPD: Man charged after Facebook Live attack on woman with baby
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A Memphis man was charged with child endangerment after he was caught on camera attacking a woman while she was holding a baby, police say. Tranell Gant, 23, was booked in the Shelby County Jail on Wednesday and is also facing a charge of aggravated assault. The victim told police she was sitting in a vehicle in the 1800 block of McMillan with their six-month-old child on her lap when Gant jumped into the driver's side and tried to strangle her. The woman said when she tried to fight back, Gant began punching her in the face. Police said the incident was captured on a Facebook Live and showed Gant enter the vehicle, and the victim fall over backwards as Gant got on top of her to choke her. It does not appear the baby was hurt during the incident. Gant is scheduled to appear in court on Thursday. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
