The suspect at Joyeria Meza, at 10909 Main Street, wielded bear spray before he was run off, police and the owner said.
Family members fought off a man who assaulted them with bear spray in an attempt to rob their jewelry store in El Monte on Saturday afternoon, police and the store owner said.
The chaotic scene broke out around 2:20 p.m. at Joyeria Meza, a family-owned jewelry store at 10909 Main Street. The owner said her 70-year-old uncle was sitting outside the store when the suspect, armed with a hammer, sprayed bear spray directly into his eyes. The owner requested that her name not be published out of concern for her safety.
The suspect smashed a display case with the hammer before he assaulted the owner’s father, sister, and her two brothers with the bear spray, she said. A customer inside the store who tried to help thwart the suspect also was sprayed. The owner said her father mistook the red bear spray on her uncle for blood and attacked the suspect.Video footage of the attempted robbery shared by ABC7 shows three male family members hitting and kicking the suspect near the entrance, with one person beating him with a long stick. One man pulls off the suspect’s shirt before he runs out of the store as the men chase him down Main Street.
