In Simi Valley, California, a pregnant street vendor was physically assaulted during a racist confrontation with a local woman. The vendor, seven months pregnant, sustained abdominal bruising but is expected to recover. The attacker, Julie Christine Sanchez, confronted the vendor over allegations of operating without a permit and selling unsafe food. During the assault, Sanchez yelled racist remarks, leading to her arrest on battery charges. The victim's attorneys vow to file a lawsuit, seeking priority prosecution and labeling it a hate crime.
Sanchez confronted the vendor, Mary, over concerns of "operating without a permit and allegedly selling unsafe food."
If you're going to be attacking people because they look different and speak a different language and you're going to hurt them, we're going to come after you," attorney Humberto Guizar said.
