A day after a violent mob of 40-50 people, many of whom had likely been participating or spectating at a nearby illegal street takeover in Orange County, overran a 7-Eleven, assaulted the clerk and ransacked the store, the clerk and police are speaking out.
The chaotic incident, which was filmed by a person just outside the store , occurred at an Anaheim 7-Eleven location at 550 South Knott Avenue, near the intersection of Orange Avenue, around 1:30 a.m. Sunday.
In footage of the terrifying attack, the clerk is seen trying to hold the doors closed as several males violently yank it open, deliver a blow to his stomach causing him to double over before receiving a brutal uppercut punch to the face from another male.
That punch left him with a bloodied nose.
The clerk, now identified as Narinder, recovered quickly and threatened the suspects with what appeared to be a broomstick-like weapon, forcing them back outside.
Narinder, who primarily speaks Hindi, spoke to KTLA through a translator and said while he’s recovering and feels okay, he is still scared.
