Woman attacked after asking mom to quiet child's tantrum

COLMA, Calif. (KABC) -- A woman says she was attacked outside a Bay Area department store after she asked another woman to quiet her child.

The incident was captured on surveillance video.

The woman says she was in the checkout line at a Nordstrom Rack store when a young child started throwing a tantrum on Monday.

The woman says she asked the child's mother -- politely, she says -- to do something.

The two women got into a verbal altercation there in the store.

"She came to the side of me and told me not to tell her child what to do, and I told her that 'I didn't tell your child what to do, I asked you very nicely to calm down your child,'" said Natalie Bree Hajek-Richardson. "I told her to go to hell, and she told me I'll see you there."

She says the woman followed her out to the parking lot and punched her twice in the face.

Police are looking at the surveillance video to see if they can identify the other woman.
