"I politely declined, and I said, 'No thank you, but thank you, I can pay for it myself,'" she recalled. "And I got ready to walk out. Before I walk out he basically said that he felt like I thought I was better than them."
The woman explained that the men followed her outside where they continued harassing her.
"I just asked him, I said, 'You're seriously trying to fight me? I'm trying to go about my business,'" she said.
The mother said the group on men began punching and kicking her as she tried to get away. At one point she dropped her smartphone and as she and the man in the red jacket fought over the phone, another man told her to run. Explaining that 'he' had done this to someone else. She told cameras that she tried to get away but the men mauled her. One trie to bite her eye out, the woman explained.
"To bite me, and do that – maul me the way that he did – with me screaming, and saying I'm just trying to get my daughter. That – that's an animal. That's not a person," she added.
