On Nov. 28 Winston-Salem police said a couple was assaulted by a group of teenagers while picking up their daughter from Hanes Mall Saturday night. Now, police say they'll have more officers patrolling the mall for the holiday shopping season.
LaTina Melton said she and her boyfriend dropped his daughter off at the mall with her best friend and her best friend's mom for a birthday party.
Melton said the couple got a call from the 13-year-old daughter saying a group of teenagers was following them around the mall.
Melton said when she went to go pick her daughter up, Melton tried to diffuse the situation, and the next thing she knew, she was assaulted.
"All of the friends just went haywire, and I was hit from this side, the left side, and once she hit me, I just instantly reacted and hit her back, and then it went from there, and it turned into five people on me and two to three men on my boyfriend," said Melton.
Police said a purse was snatched during the fight. Melton said she still hasn't gotten her wallet back.
Hanes Mall officials said they have security at the mall and are in constant contact with police.
