Woman attacks taco vendor in South Los Angeles

Cameras caught a recent attack where a woman dumped out tins full of food and poured out barrels of horchata at the "South Tacos Stand" before attacking vendor Bertha Zuniga on the corner of Slauson and Normandie Avenues Saturday night. Before leaving, the woman spit on everything she had not already trashed.

While she was nervous to speak out, Zuniga said the woman started destroying her spot after workers asked her to wait until they were fully set up.

"They're scared to speak out," said chef and street vendor advocate Jimmy Saucez. "That's why they're attacking them because they feel like they're not gonna say anything.

"I think they're just trying to get something for nothing and so by robbing and stealing and just attacking people it's an easy way to get something they want."
