Masked men harass locals at Larchmont Village Farmers Market on Sunday
A group of masked thugs filmed themselves terrorizing shoppers in a coordinated attack on a swanky Los Angeles farmers market over the weekend. The five men, who have not been identified, prowled through the Larchmont Village Farmers Market on Sunday, where they menaced women, young children and teens, and allegedly attacked patrons with pepper spray.
The skulkers intimidated shoppers at the upscale market and refused to stop filming when people tried to shield themselves and their children from the cameras.Trump says Iran has agreed to his biggest demand in unprecedented concession CNN reporter surprised ICE agents at Atlanta airport are easing TSA wait times: 'Can't believe I'm able to say this' Angel Hernandez, 15, said he was intimidated by the men who kept filming him, even after he asked them to stop. “I asked them to not film me because I’m a minor,” said Hernandez. “They kept on filming me, and they kept on getting, like, a little bit closer to me.” “I don’t know if they can be using it for their weird fantasies or if they could be doing something else with it,” the teen added.A young mother carrying a baby and young toddler told the men she and others were uncomfortable being filmed. But the masked men called her a “Karen” and one said, “Don’t tell me what to do, I couldn’t care less.” The masked group brandished cameras and surrounded market workers in what appeared to be attempts to get reactions captured on film.“They have sunglasses on, they have face masks, they have hats on, their bodies are all shielded,” said a tea vendor who was filmed alongside her friend.“It makes me feel very uncomfortable,” said the tea hawker, who declined to give her last name. “It’s sick.” Kelvin Bolanyos, who works at a sprout stall at the market, said he had been following reports of the group masked men on social media before they confronted him in person. “If you go up to them and you try grabbing their camera, that’s when they retaliate and they call it assault,” Bolanyos said. Members of the masked group allegedly blasted shoppers with pepper spray, according to witnesses and police. Officers responded around 11:30 a.m. to a 911 call reporting a possible battery at the market, an LAPD spokesman said.But the masked men disappeared as soon as police arrived and the victims who were doused with pepper spray had left as well. “Officers arrived and did not locate suspects or victims of a battery or of being pepper sprayed,” said the LAPD spokesman. Police on the scene told The Post that cops had received reports of pepper spray being used and they were looking for the masked group.
