May 24, 2020

'It was so fast, I couldn't even put my hands up,' said Samantha Clarke.

Samantha Clarke of Modesto, California is an employee at a Big 5 sporting goods store. Earlier this month she was attacked by an angry customer who was allegedly furious that the store did not carry the product she was looking for. Clarke is now legally allowed to talk about the incident and has shared a photo of her bloody and beaten face so others will know what retail workers are going through amid the COVID-19 pandemic, according to Fox News.

The alleged attack reportedly occurred on May 6. The woman who attacked Clarke was reportedly angry that the store was not permitted to reserve an item for her for longer than 30 minutes. Clarke did not blame the woman for her anger at the time.

. . .

In the photo that she shared of herself after the incident, blood can be seen streaming from the top of her eye all the way down her face to her neck. Unfortunately, the suspect behind the attack has not yet been located. However, police were able to attain an image of the woman which has been shared on social media in hopes that someone might recognize her or be able to provide information regarding her identity.

Evidently police posted pictures of the alleged assailant on social media pages, but didn't think it well to post the same picture in the news articles about the attack.

Odd . . .

Based on what I read the attacker called and asked to hold some pool and the store said they would for 30 minutes. But she showed up more than 30 minutes later and it was gone by then .
