The woman spoke to FOX 26 Houston after a video of the incident made the rounds on social media.

“As soon as I parked, he jumped in my back seat,” she told the station. “I got out of the car. I went to my daughters' daycare and called 911. While I was still on the phone with them, he started hitting me.”

“He hit me eight times. I don't think he would have stopped if I hadn't fallen. His arm was already ready to hit me a ninth time.”
