SAN JOSE, Calif. (KRON) – Police in San Jose are seeking help from the public to identify the woman caught on camera coughing on a 1-year-old in a Yogurtland earlier this month.
According to the San Jose Police Department, the assault suspect was waiting in line on Friday, June 12, when she became upset that a woman with a baby was not maintaining social distancing.
The incident happened around 5:25 p.m. at the Yogurtland located at 5638 Cottle Road in San Jose.
Surveillance video from inside Yogurtland captured a series of coughs now being treated as a crime.
Police say the suspect was wearing a mask while waiting in front of the woman and her child, who was in a stroller.
