Woman Throws Hot Coffee at Donut Shop Owner's Face

Surveillance footage from a Canoga Park, California donut shop captured the moment a customer threw hot coffee in the face of the shop owner.

It is alleged the woman was reacting to a request to be quiet or leave the establishment, when she throw the scalding drink.

The Spudnuts Donuts owner Cindy Seam told ABC about the December 7 encounter, saying “I actually asked her to quiet down because she was scaring the girl, or leave, and she said eff you and just threw the coffee at me.”

Seam told ABC she believes the woman, who often visits the shop, is homeless or mentally ill.

Police were called to the scene, but the woman had left by the time they arrived. Credit: Cindy Seam via Storyful
