A shocking incident took place at a Taco Bell location in Los Angeles on Sunday, where a guard was caught on video that physically attacked a female customer. The images that have surfaced on social media show that the woman runs away from the guard to use a self -service kiosk when the guard approaches her and delivers a powerful blow to her face. The circumstances prior to the incident are unclear, but some speculate that the appearance of women may have contributed to the escalation of the situation, according to The New York Post.

Witness Alejandro Sanchez, who recorded the incident on the camera, claims that Taco Bell's staff were more concerned about taking the fight than the violent actions of the guard. Sanchez also raised questions if the woman was the target because of her appearance.
“The guard told her to leave, and she didn't want that because she ordered food. Then he just left and she started to go crazy. He hit the S – T out of her. It was crazy. Everyone was shocked,” said Alejandro Sanchez SWN's
In the meantime, customers in the store were largely unable to intervene. The woman can be seen in a fight with the guard before the restaurant is finally reached. Taco Bell has not yet released an official statement on the incident
