San Jose Police Search For Woman Who ‘Purposely’ Coughed On 1-Year-Old

The San Jose Police Department is desperately searching for a woman who they say purposely coughed on a one-year-old child at a local Yogurtland.

The incident was caught on camera.

The woman is seen in the surveillance video walking over to a stroller and coughing at least two times over the young child.

“Coughing on someone’s face. She did it on purpose it’s not like she did it on accident, oh cough, cough – no she purposely coughed on my son’s face,” said Mireya Mora, who says the woman was upset that she was standing too close to her in line.

“It happened so quick I was in shock. She got close, she took off her mask, and she coughed three times super hard on my son’s face,” said Mora.

She says she thinks the move was racially motivated.

“I believe this woman may be racist because the family in front of her is white. Me and my grandma are Hispanic and she started telling me about my distance and harassing me and my son once I started speaking Spanish to my grandma,” said Mora.

Police are asking the public to come forward with any information. They have released images from the surveillance video to help them track the woman down.
