The lady spoke to FOX 26 Houston after a video displaying the incident circulated on social media.
“As soon as I parked, he jumped into my back seat,” she instructed the station. “I got out of the car. I went inside my daughters’ daycare, and I called 911. While I’m still on the phone with them, that is when he started hitting me.

“He punched me eight instances. I really feel like he would not have stopped if I would not have fallen. He already had his arm able to go a ninth time.”
