BLACK-ON-WHITE CRIME: Tourists suffer black eyes, bruises after attack in Emeryville parking garage in San Francisco

EMERYVILLE, Calif. (KGO) -- Horrifying witness video shows the moment a woman, visiting the Bay Area from out of state, was attacked and carjacked in the Bay Street mall parking garage in Emeryville. The woman, who does not want to be identified, was with a friend who wanted to return a pair of jeans. As soon as they parked in the garage Monday afternoon the attack began.

"They were kicking me and punching me," said the woman seen in the video, who can be heard screaming repeatedly at the assailants. "Two men just ran out and went towards me. It felt so fast like I just closed my eyes and opened it and the car was gone, everything was gone," she told ABC7.

The woman explained she thought she and her friend were about to be kidnapped but her friend who was driving their rental car managed to kick her attacker and run away. "It didn't register in my mind it was a robbery."

What was left: two black eyes, and both women bruised and shaken, but grateful to be alive. "Very lucky," said the woman in the video, as she pointed out her injuries.
