WASHINGTON, DC: Police in Ontario, California, have started a hunt for a woman they say pepper sprayed customers and employees inside a Del Taco fast-food restaurant.
According to CBS Los Angeles, a drive-thru customer who was unhappy with the burrito she purchased parked her car, walked into the restaurant which is located on Mountain Avenue and G Street, and started unloading her pepper spray canister indiscriminately.
Rose Keith was one of the innocent bystanders caught in the crossfire at the Del Taco, and had to wear sunglasses during her interview with CBS2/KCAL9 because she said her eyes were still on fire after being sprayed hours earlier.
“It was horrifying. It was terrible,” she described. “She sprayed my face and I turned around and I couldn’t see afterwards.”
Keith told the local CBS affiliate that she noticed the pepper spray suspect making a scene about her burrito and throwing a basket of condiments at employees prior to the attack.
“She threw it at them. She was upset. The manager came out and said, ‘You can’t be doing that. You need to leave.’ The lady had a pen and she threw at her,” Keith said. Directly after, the woman chased the manager inside and started spraying.
No arrests have been made in connection to the incident, but CBS reported police have the license plate number of the vehicle the woman was accused of travelling in. According to NBC4, she was last seen driving a silver-colored Acura MDX.
“I couldn’t believe it, it was surreal. All because of a burrito,” an employee who did not wish to be identified exclaimed to NBC4.
