    A pregnant Chicago mom says she lost her unborn baby after she was kicked repeatedly in the stomach, punched and pepper-sprayed by a gang of teens as she returned home from a date night with her husband.

    The woman, identified only as Nina, said the perps viciously attacked the couple — leaving them severely bruised and battered — in the city’s Streeterville neighborhood at about 8:30 p.m. last Friday, Fox 32 reported.

    “Everything happened from behind us. First, someone approached him and punched him in the head,” Nina said of the moment her husband was set upon.

    “He looked at me and said, ‘Run.'”

    Nina, who was two weeks pregnant at the time, said she begged the gang to leave them alone but a teenage girl turned on her, dragging her on the ground and ripping out chunks of her hair.

    “I start screaming, she started pepper-spraying me,” Nina recalled.

    The traumatized mom said she was kicked in the stomach and punched repeatedly.

    Doctors informed her in the wake of the brutal beatdown that she’d suffered a miscarriage.

    “We believe in faith, and it wasn’t meant to be. So we don’t know why this happened to us,” Nina said.

    Nina said her husband had tried to help her as she was being attacked, but the gang of teens pinned him to the ground and pummeled him.

    “They didn’t steal anything. They say like, ‘We own the street. We own the street. You can’t walk around,'” the mom said.

    “I was wearing like a nice dress and heels. Like I was out on the date with my husband, and they dragged my dress on the ground, and they said, like, ‘We own the street. You can’t just walk around prancing in your little dress,'” she continued.

    “They were saying things that just didn’t make any sense to me because they don’t know me personally.”

    The gang scattered when cops eventually arrived.

    Police managed to nab two of the attackers — a 14-year-old boy and a 17-year-old girl — and charged them with misdemeanor battery.

    It wasn’t immediately clear if further charges were pending.
