Violent mob assaults 7-Eleven clerk, ransacks store in Southern California

Video obtained by KTLA shows a violent mob attack at a 7-Eleven store in Orange County Sunday that left a store clerk with a bloody nose, authorities confirmed to KTLA.

The violence unfolded at around 1:30 a.m. at a 7-Eleven store located at 550 South Knott Avenue in Anaheim, police said.

In the footage, a mob of mostly masked males are seen pulling the door of the convenience store open as a clerk, armed with something that appears to be like a broomstick, attempts to keep the group out.

While the clerk was trying to keep the door closed, video shows him get hit in the stomach and doubled over before taking an uppercut from a male in a gray hoodie.

When the clerk, seemingly stunned from the blows, steps back, the mob moves forward but quickly retreats when the clerk raises his makeshift weapon and charges them.

The male in the gray hoodie immediately returns to the door, forces his way inside, appearing to threaten the clerk with more violence when the mob swarms the store behind him and begins ransacking it.
