Customers at the Pathmark in the Lawndale section of Philadelphia came to a woman’s assistance after sources say she was assaulted.
For the second time in two weeks, an assault was reported at the same Philadelphia supermarket.
A screaming woman ran inside the Pathmark at 840 Cottman Avenue in the Lawndale section of the city around 6 p.m. Monday and said she was assaulted outside the store.
A 19-year-old man followed the woman into the supermarket, according to multiple sources with knowledge of the investigation.
Customers then cornered the unidentified man until police arrived, sources said.
Medics took the woman to the hospital with undisclosed injuries.
This is the second time this month that an attack happened at the supermarket. On Oct. 7, a man was stabbed in the face and neck while in the dairy aisle.
