Authorities are searching for two outstanding suspects following a brawl that was caught on video at a 7-Eleven in Lancaster.
Jason Sandoval, who witnessed the incident and spoke with the victims, said the family earns a living selling fruit out of their truck. They had just finished working for the day when they drove into the gas station.
According to Sandoval, a car carrying four black women pulled up at the 7-Eleven with an apparent intent to wreak havoc.
The footage shows a woman wearing yellow shorts opening the passenger side door of the family's truck, then grabbing what appears to be a handbag. Sandoval said she took out a wallet containing $700 — the family's earnings — then threw the purse at the victims.
After the theft, you can see the woman throw the first punch at a man. She then strikes a woman in the face, and eventually even the children were targeted.
