According to the report, a 7-year-old boy was riding his bicycle outside his mobile home in Oakland Park when Tran punched him in the face "suddenly and unprovoked."

When a deputy asked Tran what happened, according to the report, she said, "He looked at me and was making fun of me, and I punched him."

The report said Tran gave two different names and birth dates, both of them false.
