Just another hate crime that will go unreported by the major media outlets.

McDonalds Worker Savagely Beats Mom As Her Toddler Tries to Stop It (Video)
by Jason DeWitt | Top Right News
South New Jersey authorities were searching Thursday for a McDonalds employee captured on amateur video repeatedly beating a woman as the victim’s toddler son watched and bystanders did nothing to intervene and stop the attack — and even repulsively whooped it up at each punch as if they were at an MMA match.
The victim was left with limited vision in her left eye and she was also threatened with being shot during the attack. A warrant was issued for the suspect, Latia Harris, 25, of Salem.
Harris is an employee at McDonald’s, where she encountered the victim and engaged her in a verbal altercation. The subsequent attack occurred while she was on duty and after she followed the victim out of the store, according to police.
The video, briefly posted then deleted from Facebook, but captured by Top Right News, shows the victim’s 2-year-old young son trying to protect his mother by kicking her assailant in the attack which took place Tuesday night.
“… this video is physically sickening to watch,” said Salem City Chief of Police John Pelura III.
WATCH:
Above: The victim, Catherine Ferreira. Police said that the beating left Ferreira, a 27-year-old Salem resident, with a concussion, “limited function” of her left eye, numerous contusions and a broken nose.
Below: The attacker, Latia Harris, 25, did not return to work at McDonalds, and is still at large.
Chief Pelura said the circumstances around this incident are disturbing.
“There is a moral and social breakdown in the fabric of our society which is clearly evident when a woman gets pummeled in broad daylight in front of her child while a dozen people pull out their phones to record the incident instead of calling for help,” Pelura said. “There is so little regard for human life — by the actor and the bystanders.”
In a statement released Thursday afternoon by McDonald’s corporate office, owner/operator of the Salem restaurant Jim Burlaga said he was aware of the incident involving his employee.
“I am extremely disturbed by this kind of behavior and it goes against the values and standards that I expect from my employees in my restaurants.
“This employee will not be serving customers pending this important police investigation and I’m fully cooperating with the local police in this matter,” he added.
