This was the horrifying moment a woman rammed the car of a mother-of-two, who had her daughter with her, before running over her victim and dragging her across the parking lot.
The victim, who only gave her name as Amaro, said she was ‘terrified’ during the attack which happened with two young kids, aged three and five, in her car.
Amaro told Kron4 that the incident began when she accidentally cut off the aggressive motorist as she merged into the lane to go to a Bay Area McDonald’s drive-thru on February 5, at around noon.
Cellphone footage recorded by the victim, shows the unidentified suspect, who appeared to be wearing medical scrubs, getting out of her car and screaming at the victim before she begins to throw things.
Amaro quickly rolls up her window as the crazed woman repeatedly throws a water bottle at her.
Her terrified children can be heard crying and asking why they were being attacked in the chilling video.
‘They were so scared,’ she said. ‘I was terrified, for my children, for myself.’
Richmond Police are searching for a driver (left and right) who slammed her car into another vehicle after she accused a woman of cutting in front of her in the McDonald’s drive-thru line in Richmond, California
After yelling profane language and throwing items at the victim’s car window, the woman rammed her Honda Civic into the other driver’s van (pictured)
The suspect, who police said was accompanied by an older male passenger, then gets back inside her vehicle to charge into the victim’s van with her car.
Amaro, who stopped recording on her phone after the crash, got out of her van to stand in front of the suspect’s vehicle to prevent her from fleeing. However, the woman took off, running over Amara in the process.
Amaro was able to hold on to the hood of the suspect’s car for more than 150 feet before the woman hard-braked, causing Amaro to fall off.
‘As I was trying to get up and get my balance back on my feet, she got out of her vehicle and started punching me multiple times,’ said Amaro. ‘I counted six times in my face, but it could have been more.’
After the suspect rammed her car, Amaro (pictured) stood in front of the woman’s vehicle so that she wouldn’t flee the scene. But, the woman ran her over and Amaro had to hang onto the suspect’s car roof. She was dragged for more than 150 feet before eventually falling off and received several punches while she was laying injured on the ground
‘They were so scared,’ Amaro said of her two kids who witnessed the incident. ‘I was terrified, for my children, for myself.’
The road-rage incident took place in the parking lot of the McDonalds on MacDonald Avenue in Richmond, California
After the incident, police later revealed that the suspect was not the owner of the Honda Civic used in the assault. The car was eventually found by authorities, who said its owner was not cooperating with the investigation.
Police have now asked for the public’s help to identify the suspect, who faces several serious charges.
‘We are investigating this as an assault with a deadly weapon because her vehicle was used specifically as a weapon to ram the other vehicle,’ Sergeant Pomeroy told KTVU.
Amaro has recovered from her injuries from the incident. However, she fears for her safety as well as the ones of her children, who have been having nightmares over the incident.
‘Just the thought of me running into her again is terrifying,’ she said.
Richmond Police said they urge anyone with information on the assault to contact its hotline immediately.
