Kaila claims the woman asked her and her friend to give her six feet of space.

The two friends reportedly backed away from the woman, but seconds later, the woman allegedly asked the women "if they had something to say."

The woman then allegedly grabbed Kaila by her hair and began punching her in the head.

"It took a few people to pull off ... she was trying to get to me a couple more times," said Kaila. "I started calling the police. Everyone around just kind of seemed stunned. My friend, who was trying to call for help or ask anyone around us to help us, started walking towards the exit and that's when the lady ran back inside and she attacked my friend as well before she finally left for good."
