TROY, Mich. (FOX 2) - A woman who police say slammed a 10-year-old girl's head into a display case at Somerset Mall last month pleaded guilty to assault.

Reanna Valentine, 25, of Detroit, will be sentenced next month after her recent plea.

The victim and the group were walking through the food court on Jan. 12 when an unknown woman forcefully grabbed the girl's head and pushed her into a glass display. Police described the attack as appearing to be "unprovoked and for no apparent reason."
