CORONA, Calif. (KABC) -- WARNING: The above video contains graphic footage that some viewers may find disturbing.

Disturbing video shows the violent attack of a woman who was beaten with a baseball bat by a man in Corona Tuesday.

A witness said the woman went into Jerry's Liquor store in the 500 block of E. 6th Street and was asked to leave, but she began to break things, including a store window.
