BAXLEY, Ga. — Police are hoping surveillance video that captured a violent attack will help them find the people responsible.
Video obtained by Channel 2 Action News shows a restaurant owner and her teenage daughter beaten by two customers. It happened Thursday afternoon in Baxley, Georgia.
Police acknowledged the time stamp of the video, which says 2010, is incorrect and confirmed it happened Thursday.
The victims told police the suspects were unhappy with their order. The verbal argument turned violent when one of the suspects began punching the restaurant owner repeatedly.
When the victim’s teenage daughter came out of the car to break up the fight, the male suspect punched her in the face.
