Woman who Attacked Asian Store Owners Arrested

CATEGORIES

The woman allegedly caught on camera attacking the Asian owners of a beauty store in Cleveland, Ohio has been arrested, ABC 5 Cleveland reports.

Police arrested Ebony Afzal, 25, Thursday and charged her with felonious assault, a second-degree felony, according to court documents.

In security camera footage, Afzal can allegedly be seen arguing with the owners over a card transaction. Her card had been declined, and the owners told her she could not leave with her $11.85 worth of items without paying.

“May I please have my items, please? I will leave and get out of your hair. You will never see me in your store again,” she says in the video. “All I’m trying to do is get my items, that’s it. I’m not being belligerent.”

Eventually she begins to punch and drag the store owners.

A judge has set Afzal’s bond at $75,000. She has also been ordered to have no contact with the alleged victims if the bond is posted.
