MODESTO, Calif. (KTXL) — A retail worker in Modesto said she was brutally attacked by a customer earlier this month.
She is now raising awareness of how workers are being treated during the COVID-19 pandemic.
In pictures shared with FOX40, Samantha Clarke detailed the attack she said she suffered on May 6 by a masked woman who was upset because of a sold-out swimming pool.
“We didn’t have what they wanted and she lost her temper and she hit me in the face,” she said.
Modesto police investigators say the beating took place at a business on Dale Road.
“It hurts to touch it and I get random pains in my temple because that’s where I was hit,” Clarke said.
Clarke, who asked FOX40 not to share where exactly she works, said this was just one example of the ongoing mistreatment from some customers during the COVID-19 pandemic.
