Frustrated T.J. Maxx customer turns violent

Police are asking for the public’s help to find a woman suspected of battery after she allegedly slapped and threw things at the employee of a Daly City clothing store Friday afternoon.

The incident occurred at about 1:50 p.m. at the T.J. Maxx store at 100 Westlake Center, police said.

The suspect apparently tried to return items without a receipt.

When the store employee refused to accept the items, the suspect threw a bag of candy at the employee and also slapped them in the face, according to police. The suspect then left the store and got into a 4-door Hyundai sedan before leaving the scene.

She was described as a woman about 25 years old, 5 feet 5 inches tall, weighing 140 pounds with an average build and black hair with red streaks in it. She also wore a pink outfit, police said.

A surveillance video was able to capture images of her.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Daly City Police Department at (650) 991-8119 or the anonymous tip line at (650) 873-2467 and refer to case #17004796.
