Two or three weeks ago, she stopped by the eatery to chat with some of her former colleagues, and at one point Ferreira made an off-hand remark about Latia Harris' alleged romantic relationship with her supervisor.
[. . .]
On Tuesday, Ferreira said she was walking home with her son at around 7pm when Harris ambushed her in a clearing behind the McDonald’s and smacked her.
The 4-foot-9, 10-pound mother tried to reason with Harris and informed her that she did not want to fight, but the woman ignored her pleas, hurling Ferreira' to the ground.
‘I could have been dead right now, had she hit me in the right spot it would have been over, over nothing,’ Ferreira tearfully said. ‘McDonald’s isn’t worth it, a guy isn’t worth it.’
The people who witnessed the attack and did nothing to stop it have been condemned by local police and the media, but Ferreira cautioned against demonizing them, stressing in the interview that they should not be seen as ‘monsters.’

After the victim is thrown to the ground, the attacker proceeds to punch and kick her at least 20 times.
The woman's toddler tries to intervene on his mother's behalf by kicking her assailant and yelling at her to stop.
‘Mommy!’ the little boy cries out.
At one point, Harris threatens to beat up the 2-year-old.
