Street vendor attacked and robbed in Inglewood

INGLEWOOD, California — A street vendor selling flowers was robbed and attacked Sunday morning in Inglewood.

A woman apparently got off of a bus and started verbally abusing 28-year-old Ernesto Francisco in front of the Inglewood Park Cemetery.

A bystander video — that captured part of the ordeal, shows the woman shoving Ernesto to the ground, knocking over his flowers. She then grabs a bouquet and walks back towards her car as bystanders call the police.

Police said Tuesday they arrested the woman seen in the video, although no further details on her arrest or identity have been released.

Ernesto says he’s left shaken and doesn’t know if he’ll continue to sell flowers.
