Video shows men attacking KFC employees

Posted

ST. AUGUSTINE, FL (WAWS/WFOX/WJAX/CNN) - Police in Florida are investigating a violent altercation that happened outside a KFC in Florida this week.

Cell phone video of the incident posted to Facebook shows a group of people fighting in the restaurant's parking lot.

An employee who tried to break up the fight was also attacked. At one point the restaurant manager got slapped as she tried to run off the violent group of young men.

Investigators say there is no apparent reason for this attack.

A woman who did not want to be identified claims the attackers in the video are the same young men who jumped her and her pregnant friend less than two weeks ago in Flagler County, FL.

"It's scary. Like, they came at us, once - he threw a Four Loko can at my face. A full Four Loko can, and my jaw was really swollen. They punched a pregnant girl in her mouth a couple times,” she said.

She says they hit her truck with a baseball bat, used a 2x4 to break her windshield, and threatened to shoot her multiple times.

St. Johns County deputies are working to identify the young men in the St. Augustine attack, so they can't say if the two beatings are connected.

However, the anonymous victim is sure, and she wants them stopped before they hit again.

Police say they have identified persons of interest in the attacks, but they don't yet know which ones should be considered suspects.

WJXT reports that attempts to reach the person who posted the video were unsuccessful.
