SACRAMENTO (CBS13) — A video shot in south Sacramento has gone viral and, in a word, it’s brutal.

It shows a mentally disabled woman being mocked, spit on, then punched in the face at a Sacramento strip mall on Mack Road.

Regular customers and neighbors weren’t surprised by the video. They say this type of disrespect, and abuse, goes on all the time.

But it’s difficult to watch. A woman who appears mentally impaired is punched in the face.
It all started while she stood in front of a doughnut shop where she is taunted by a group of guys who sound as if they’re spitting on her.

Then she’s shoved in the face and laughed at.

After that she snaps and chases her attackers, asking why they’re hurting her.

“Why you slapping me, huh?” she can be heard asking.

After that a man punches her in the face, knocking her to the ground, where she can be heard moaning.

“This is just appalling to see this, and it’s a shame that this happens,” said Jonathan Johnson of Sacramento as he watched the video.

“Especially an older lady like that, man, that could’ve been somebody’s grandma,” another man said.
