Two Men Were Not Wearing Masks at LA Target; Nabbed for Attacking Employees Ordering Masks

Two men were arrested at a Target store in Los Angeles after a video of them fighting with employees escorting them out because they weren't wearing masks went viral, the Vice website reports today (May 12, 2020).

Phillip Hamilton, 31, and his brother Paul, 29, were being escorted out of the Van Nuys, California store by store employees on May 1, since LA County requires store customers to wear face masks to avoid the coronavirus spread. One of the Hamilton brothers turned around and punched one of the employees.

An ensuing brawl involved the two brothers, three store employees, and multiple other customers. A Target employee was taken to the hospital and was treated for a broken arm.

Both Hamilton brothers were charged with felony battery and had bail set at $50,000, according to Los Angeles police.
