Edith Baralles says she was attacked and harassed while just doing her job, selling snacks in a neighborhood near Franklin and 12th.
“They started taking everything from my basket, my cart,” Baralles said, speaking through an interpreter.
The video shows a group of people yelling at Edith. One person helps themselves to a cup of juice then another kicks the cart over.
Edith says the group began harassing her, claiming they were short an item that she says wasn’t paid for.
“Even though they were being filmed they didn’t care and they still kept harassing me,” Baralles said.
Edith isn’t the only street food vendor who has been attacked. Just last month a taco truck owner was shot in Modesto and in December, a street corn vendor in Linda was shot.
