The incident took place on the morning of May 13 at a Tim Hortons in Fort Wayne, Indiana.
Video released by the Fort Wayne Police Department shows Anita Grayson, 75, entering the restaurant at 3975 Ice Way in the northern Indiana city at about 8:10 that morning to address an issue with an order she had received at the drive-through.
After standing at the counter for about a minute, Grayson is seen arguing with a 17-year-old female employee, both of them gesturing intensely, though the video has no sound. Next, a 20-year-old shift lead steps between Grayson and the employee.
