San Jose business owners attacked NBC Bay Area [Video]

Two women who have been running a San Jose market for more than a decade are shaken up after a pair of suspects punched and pushed them last week in a disturbing incident caught on surveillance video.

The owner said it happened Wednesday as the suspects were trying to steal a beer.

Phuong Ton has owned Smile Market on North Fourth Street in San Jose for 16 years, but she said she’s never experienced anything like what happened last Wednesday. 

She said her sister was working at the register when a man and woman tried to pay for a beer. But her sister noticed the man was hiding a second beer. 

“We have a camera right here, we can see that he put it in his pants,” Ton said.

Her sister confronted them, and that’s when things turned violent.
