SAN JOSE— On Monday, June 22 SJPD announced they are seeking the public’s help in identifying a woman who is being accused of assault after she was seen on video coughing in a 1 year old’s face.
The incident took place on Friday, June 12 at 5:25 PM at a California Yogurtland located at 5638 Cottle Road in San Jose. The unknown adult female suspect was standing in line inside the business. She was standing in front of an adult female and her 1 year-old child who was in a stroller.
