A street vendor whose stand was vandalized and severely destroyed by man in Woodland Hills receives generous donations from viewers who heard about his story.
"I could just think about me as a the paperboy on my bike, and having some man assault me and trash my bike and throw my papers everywhere and what that would do to my young mind," Velasquez said.
Alvarez, who spoke in Spanish, told Velasquez he hopes what happened to him doesn't happen again and that he's very thankful."Hopefully this will get you new supplies to continue working," she said shaking his hand. "Any attack against a street vendor is abhorrent and everyone who sees this video should be deeply disturbed. This sort of vigilante behavior is illegal and immoral and this individual will be held accountable," said LA Councilmember Bob Blumenfield who represents Woodland Hills, in a statement Wednesday.
