The video begins with Citipups employees telling the woman to leave the Chelsea store, but when she notices someone recording, she slams the phone.
The woman moves toward the exit, but stops briefly to slap a woman, a tourist visiting from Texas, in the face. The victim’s head is dying, obviously injured by the assault, but her attacker is not done yet.
The video then shows the woman reach the door and turn around to spit in the direction of the woman she just slapped.
After turning around, he approaches a Texas tourist standing in the store and slaps her.
“It’s crazy,” said store manager Emilio Ortiz.
Ortiz witnessed the strange encounter and was also the person who captured everything on camera.
“She punched that woman in the face and left. She had nothing to do with it. That was the first time that lady was in New York. The first day, she visited New York and was attacked by a random person “Ortiz explained.
Ortiz said Saturday that the pet store was full and before his camera started rolling it was a normal day. People milled around admiring the dogs.
Then, suddenly, the now wanted woman started kicking the kennels. The dogs were startled but were unharmed.
The tourist, for her part, was seriously injured. The slap left her with a bloody nose and a lot of facial swelling.
Police are still trying to locate the woman, who they say could face an assault charge.
